Araucaria

✅ Light

• Loves bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate some morning sun.

• Avoid harsh noon sunlight — it burns the needles.

✅ Watering

• Keep soil slightly moist, not soggy.

• Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry.

• Never let the pot sit in water → root rot.

🚫 Important

• Araucaria hates overwatering more than underwatering.

✅ Soil

• Use well-draining soil:

  • Garden soil

  • Cocopeat

  • Perlite / sand

  • A little compost

✅ Humidity

• Likes moderate to high humidity.

• Mist occasionally in dry weather.

✅ Temperature

• Prefers 15–28°C.

• Avoid frost and extremely hot dry air.
