Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) Care and Information

Hey there Tubers, It's Justin here. Today I want to tell you a little bit about how to care for your Norfolk Island Pine. It's that time of year again, and these plants are sold at pretty much any place business is done lol and when the holiday season is over doesn't mean you have to throw them out. These plants can live for over 120 years! Have a happy holiday, watch till then end, and as always Plant Prudently! Thanks!

NOTE: If you have a hard time hearing over the music, try unplugging your headphones and watch without them. I am aware the music is too loud, and I have 100% fixed this in my newer videos, but this was an early video and I was still learning to edit. I apologize for the problem though, and you can be sure this won't happen in any of my newer videos! Thanks for watching!

I just bought two, a small one and a large one. I'm so excited to see how they both do. Thank you for this awesome video!!

Thanks for the information. I purchased a big Norfolk island pine after Christmas for only 2 dollars. It's doing well so far. I hope to keep it alive until this Christmas.

[Thankful_.]

I have this Plant indoors. I purchased it at Lowe’s in November, it was sprayed w sparkles. Fast forward to April, I’ve kept it nicely watered and it’s grown so nicely; however, I had to repot it bc all the original branches that were heavily sparkled when I bought it became very stiff and begin to drop. Now I much smaller, healthy plant that’s all soft new growth. 🌲

I just bought one! It's so cute! Two people commented !on it in, the grocery store. They said it, was a Charlie Brown, Christmas tree. So I named it Charlie

Nice review-I am wanting to know as much about this plant as of my fav

[judyludlum]

I just got my Norfolk last week. I love it! There are natural pest control options out there that work really well and do no harm to you or the plant.

How are your plants doing now? I've had mine for almost 3 years. It's about 4 feet tall and really full and wide. It's almost time to bring it inside. I'm ordering new fairy lights for it for Christmas. I really love this type of plant.

I would be curious to see how most people take care of them, or if they get them confused with a spruce tree and put them outside in winter. Lol I love these trees and they have a lot of interesting facts about them!

I bought my tree 5 years ago, i planted it outside in my front yard, so far it’s about 9 feet long, and I love it more every day, I just want to ask how to grow a new tree from a cut?

I bought my Norfolk about a couple of weeks and it's already grown about an inch or so. I just put it in a bigger pot, placed it in front of a south facing window, and just spray it with water every so often. If it keeps on growing like it might be wanting to, my Norfolk will be taking over the entire dining room by this time next year or at least be the height of the ceiling.

X mas trees some are cedar pine oak and some more.

thank you, a lot of useful info in this video.

And when you fertilize, what do you use? Your large one is gorgeous!!!

Norfolk pine can do low-medium light, and cold drafty bathroom window too. I don't recommend this, but the plant will survive.

I’m using mine for my Christmas tree this year
