Araucaria Excelsa (Norfolk-Island-Pine)

Temperature:
50-60 F

A permanent plant that requires practically no attention, looks like a little live Christmas tree self-decorated with its own light-green growing tips, and grows 6 to 8 inches a year.

An all-purpose mix is satisfactory, if you allow the plant to get almost dry between waterings. Propagate by rooting the top of an old plant. Side branches will root but they do not form a nicely shaped tree.
