Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the needles on my Araucaria turning yellow? Yellowing is often caused by dry air from heating, lack of light, or overwatering — mist the foliage, keep it away from radiators, and check the drainage.
Can Araucaria heterophylla live outdoors? Only in summer in a sheltered, mild spot — it does not tolerate frost and must be brought inside as soon as temperatures drop below 10 °C.

🌤️ Bright indirect light • 🌲 Tender green evergreen foliage • 💧 Moderate watering • 🏙️ Structuring conical shape
Araucaria heterophylla, also called Norfolk Island Pine, is a tropical conifer native to Norfolk Island, off the coast of Australia — not to be confused with European Christmas trees. Its naturally symmetrical conical shape and tender green evergreen foliage make it a decorative indoor plant all year round, both off-season and during the holidays. Find our large indoor plants and our XXL plant guide to integrate it well into your space.
Easy to care for and long-lasting, it prefers stability — a temperate, bright room without drafts suits it perfectly.
Exposure & location
The Araucaria likes natural light without prolonged direct sun — too much sun burns its fine needles, lack of light yellows its foliage and distorts its shape.
- Exposure: bright indirect light — east or north-facing window ideal.
- Ideal for: living room, office, entrance, or bright veranda.
- Temperature: 12 to 22 °C — it hates the dry heat of radiators.
- Substrate: light and draining — universal potting soil with some sand.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — the substrate should stay slightly moist but never soggy. See our new plant care guide to start well with your Araucaria.
- Frequency: about once a week in summer, every 10 to 15 days in winter.
- Humidity: mist the foliage once or twice a week in winter when the air is dry due to heating.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer, diluted green plant fertilizer.
- Pruning: unnecessary — its conical shape forms naturally.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Its vertical conical shape makes it an ideal structuring plant in a corner of the living room or entrance — it adds height without taking up floor space.
- In a minimalist arrangement: pair it with a Zamioculcas and a Kentia — three plants with vertical, graphic shapes, all tolerant of indirect light, a coherent and low-maintenance trio.
- In large size: discover the Araucaria Pot Ø21 cm — H70 cm for an even stronger visual impact in large spaces.
- Decorative pot: a matte beige or stone gray ceramic pot enhances the natural and understated look of the conical shape.
Verdeia tips
- Keep it away from radiators: the hot, dry air from heaters is its main threat in winter — keep at least 1 meter away from any direct heat source and humidify the ambient air.
- Rotate the pot regularly: a quarter turn every two weeks ensures symmetrical growth — without this, branches stretch toward the light and the conical shape distorts.
- Respect its room: the Araucaria hates frequent moves — choose its permanent location when setting it up and avoid moving it, especially in winter.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
