Norfolk Island Pine

Norfolk Island Pine 🌲 has soft, layered branches and a classic evergreen shape, so it looks like a little Christmas tree that sticks around all year. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, and it can handle some gentle direct sun. It wants more steady moisture and humidity than a lot of tougher houseplants, so don't let the soil go bone dry for long. Pro tip: keep it away from heating vents, since dry heat and dry soil are the usual reasons lower branches turn brown 💧. When it arrives, give it 2-4 weeks to settle in before you repot.

Sold in 4", 6", 8" or 10" pots
