Planting & Care

Plant your Norfolk Island Pine in a container one and a half to two times larger than its shipped pot, using quality well-draining potting soil. Position it in an area receiving partial light, such as near a south-facing window with some shade protection. Water weekly to keep soil moist without waterlogging, and mist the foliage regularly or use a humidifier since this tropical plant loves humidity. During spring and summer months, feed with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer to support vigorous growth.
