Araucaria cunninghamii

Description

Commonly known as the ‘hoop pine’, Araucaria cunninghamii can be found growing across rainforests of Australia and New Guinea. The trees grow tall, reaching up to 60 meters, with a slim trunk. Sharp needle-like leaves emerge from the branches. The bonsai has a much more compact growth habit, and its grey trunk grows contorted.

WATERING

In spring and summer water well after the top 25% of the soil is dry. In winter allow the soil to dry a little before watering sparingly.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Bright, indirect.

FEED

During spring and summer feed with a nitrogen heavy fertiliser.

REPOTTING

Repot every 2-3 years or alternatively replace the top 10cm of the soil with fresh house plant compost every year.
