Araucaria heterophylla

The Norfolk Island Pine is a tropical evergreen prized for its graceful symmetry and soft, feathery tiers of needles. Indoors, it brings a sculptural, living-tree presence to any space—thriving as a long-lived houseplant with the right light and steady care. Though it looks like a miniature Christmas tree, this species is actually a warm-climate conifer native to the South Pacific, where it grows into a true giant. In homes, it remains compact, elegant, and beautifully architectural year-round.
