  • The Formal Name: Araucaria heterophylla

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She prefers bright indirect light with some gentle sun, turned regularly for even growth.
  • Best Room: A warm living room, hallway, bedroom or office with steady filtered light.
  • Snacks: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: She appreciates moderate humidity and dislikes hot dry radiator air.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her comfortable at 16–24°C and protect from cold draughts or hot blasts.
  • Thirst: Keep lightly and evenly moist, allowing the top to begin drying before watering again.
  • Safety First: Use caution – best kept away from pets and small hands to avoid chewing needles or stomach upset.
  • The Bedding: Use a free-draining peat-free houseplant mix with added bark or perlite.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from seed in specialist conditions; indoor plants are usually grown on rather than propagated at home.
  • Space Needs: Give her space so the symmetrical tiers do not press against walls or furniture.
  • Speed: A steady grower that responds well to consistent light, warmth and watering.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs, scale, spider mites and fungus gnats, especially on stressed plants.
  • Moving Day: Repot when roots fill the pot or watering becomes difficult to manage.
  • Haircut: Avoid pruning the top leader; remove only dead or damaged branch tips.
  • Fresh Air: A dependable foliage plant that adds colour, softness and life to indoor rooms.
  • Plant Lore: Although often used as a living Christmas tree, she is a real conifer that can be enjoyed all year.
