Yes, Norfolk pines (Araucaria heterophylla) can develop surface roots as they grow. These roots often spread horizontally near the soil surface, which can sometimes create challenges for landscaping or construction. It's important to consider their root structure when planting or maintaining these trees to ensure their health and stability.

No, Norfolk Pines cannot be successfully rooted in water. They require well-draining soil to grow properly.
The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla or Star Pine) grow to a height of about 50 -> 65 m.
Yes.AnswerSome herbivores find Norfolk Pines (which aren't a true pine) quite tasty. On the island itself young trees have to be protected from roving cattle. As for household pets, the Norfolk Pine is considered safe for pets, including parrots (which will chew any leaves within reach) although it would be prudent to limit the intake of leaves. Of course, a parrot let loose on a Norfolk Pine would result in a very sorry looking tree!
Pines have special kind of roots that allow them to store water and their leaves to withold the water that's why they have longer leaves
Take your pines, cut off most the roots to cripple them, place a tin cup in a branch for loose change, and presto, your pines are much more begger!
Norfolk Island Pines are tropical plants that prefer high humidity and moderate temperatures, so they may not thrive in the hot and dry climate of Arizona. It's important to provide them with enough moisture and some protection from direct sunlight to help them thrive in this environment.
Norfolk Island pines may drop branches due to overwatering, underwatering, low humidity, or insufficient light. It is important to ensure proper care and environmental conditions to prevent branch dropping.
I believe it can as long as there is no direct sunlight on it. Misting with water occasionally could be beneficial too. Rich loose soil,large pot and good drainage a must. Norfolk pines have no problem with direct sunlight as long as they are kept moist. It will be fine on a screened porch, but it should have occasional sunlight. In their natural habitat, Norfolk pines certainly have direct sunlight, but this must be filtered if the pine is kept in a pot.
Surface roots are commonly referred to as shallow roots. These roots typically grow close to the soil surface and can be more visible compared to deeper roots. They are responsible for nutrient and water absorption from the top layers of the soil.
Norfolk pines can lose branches due to various reasons such as overwatering, underwatering, lack of sunlight, or pests. It is important to check the plant's environment and care routine to identify and address the specific cause of branch loss.
