description for "Pine: Araucaria heterophylla"
Widely recognized during the holidays is this Norfolk Pine. While it looks like a small Christmas tree, it is actually a tropical plant. This fussy plant is not frost hardy, doesn't like cold drafts or temperatures below 35 degrees. Additionally, it requires a good deal of light and high humidity. It is recommended to care for it like a Gardenia or Orchid and keep it indoors. Edited by S. Derr
