Care Instructions:
Tropical Tannenbaum loves bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate low light for shorter periods (think of it as a break from sunbathing). Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry but be careful not to let it sit in water. A well-draining pot is its best friend. During growing seasons, spring and summer, feed it a balanced fertilizer once a month to keep it thriving. Remember, happiness for this plant is consistently moist but not soggy soil.

Pop your Norfolk Island Pine in a chic planter to act as a statement piece in any room. Decorate it with fairy lights or small decorations during festive seasons for an instant holiday vibe.
