Norfolk Island Pine
Purchased from Baker Nursery
The main care requirements for a Norfolk Island Pine are fairly straightforward.
Norfolk Island pines are capable of growing both indoors and outdoors. While they have preferred growing conditions, they are quite forgiving and can thrive in various settings.
A potted Norfolk Island pine only needs to be repotted when it's rootbound or the roots are beginning to come out of the drainage hole. Young Norfolk Island pines are not very fast growers, so you'll likely only need to repot it every few years.
Repot your Norfolk Island pine in the springtime. Choose a heavy pot to help keep the tree from falling over. Make sure the pot is only a couple of inches larger than the one the plant is coming from, with plenty of drainage holes.
- Plant in a location that gets full sun.
- Locate your tree in an area with temperatures above 35°F.
- Water your Norfolk Pine at least every two weeks indoors.
- Test your tree's soil pH and amend for acidic soil.
