Norfolk Island Pine, also known as 'The Little Holiday tree,' is not a pine tree but a slow-growing, tropical plant native to Norfolk Island near Australia. They have a pretty cool part of history attached to it. Belonging to the Araucariaceae family, Norfolk Island Pine had been widely distributed throughout the world during the age of dinosaurs. With the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event and the dinosaurs, the Araucariaceae family also went extinct in the Northern Hemisphere, but the plants continued to thrive in the Southern Hemisphere.
Norfolk Island Pine - Araucaria heterophylla is very popular as a sustainable Christmas tree and works great in sitting rooms or other spaces as a low maintenance indoor tree that can be used as a small version of a Christmas tree for a dorm room or small space. This gorgeous evergreen tree - the Norfolk Island Pine, brings an outdoor woodsy feel to your indoor space. It can be decorated too!
Being a tropical plant, we recommend keeping them away from cold drafts and heating units during the winter months. Space out your watering sessions when the topsoil layer gets dry. They love added humidity, so mist them with water every day.

I absolutely love my new baby and so did my followers!! thank you so much, will be ordering soon.
Me and my family love this little holiday plant 🪴. Packing of this plant is awesome. Highly recommended for buying new plant...
I’ve had my Norfolk Pine for about 3 weeks and it is healthy and easy to care for. The packaging was fantastic, no damage to any part of the plant and the soil was still moist.
delivered the plants very carefully, loved it !! Thank you
I was so excited to receive my Norfolk Pine and there was a sweet little peperomia hope thrown in as a surprise gift! The mail was delivered late and, because it's incredibly cold out right now, the poor peperomia froze and even though it was an extra gift, it is being replaced. So thoughtful and so kind, I am so impressed with the customer service and cannot wait to get another plant!
