Araucaria heterophylla 1PP

A relative to the Monkey Puzzle, this indoor conifer is surprisingly easy going. Perfect for a draughty room or cool bathroom, this ancient elegant species does well in lower temperatures and can add a light, airy feeling to a space. We obviously can not skip over the fact that it resembles a certain festive tree - being one of the only conifers that can survive indoors, it is a perfect alternative to the Christmas tree.
