The Norfolk Island Pine is an evergreen tree native to Norfolk Island in the South Pacific between Australia and New Zealand.  It is not a true pine but a pre-historic conifer in the family Araucariaceae that thrived during the time of the dinosaurs.   They are an easy care, slow growing, tropical plant that thrives indoors above 60 degrees and outdoors in zones that stay above 35 degrees Fahrenheit.  Although they prefer bright light whenever possible, Norfolk Island pines can also handle relatively long periods in low light conditions. You can keep your potted plant indoors during the winter and then move it to a sunny spot outdoors in late spring and summer.   They are a drought tolerant tree that should only be watered when the soil in the pot is about 50% dry.   However, as a tropical plant, they do like humidity.  During dryer cooler temperatures they should be misted and kept over a small tray of water filled with pebbles so that their roots do not sit in the water.   During the growing season feed with a little bit of weak liquid fertilizer.   When potting up your Norfolk Island Pine you need to use a peaty, sandy potting mix that is slightly acidic.   Because this is a slow growing plant you may only need to repot every other year.  
Shipping and handling can be very tough on live plants so please be sure to open and check your plant right away.  Mist the foliage and check the soil for moisture.  Our plant team gives each plant a drink before they are individually shipped and wrapped so they may not need to be watered right away.  Overwatering is one of the most common causes of decline with indoor plants.  We are unable to ship this plant to California due to restrictions by the California Department of Agriculture.  Please be aware that if your pet is a plant chewer this plant can be mildly toxic.  There are no other authorized sellers of American Plant Exchange plants.  Please ensure that you order and receive an American Plant Exchange plant shipped and sold by Amazon.  American plant exchange is a family owned and women-led nursery that supports women in our community in a mutually beneficial work release skill development program.
