Araucaria (Hoop Pine) Bonsai Tree – Rare Evergreen Conifer

The Araucaria (Araucaria cunninghamii), also called the Hoop Pine, is a rare, feathery evergreen conifer that is seldom seen in Indian bonsai collections. Each tree is hand-trained at Abana Homes with a characterful curved or twisting trunk and soft, tiered green foliage. The tree available now stands about 60 cm (2 ft) tall and comes planted in a plastic pot with a drainage hole. (Our larger 110 cm Araucaria is currently sold out.)

Highlights

• Rare species: a conifer bonsai that stands apart from the usual Ficus and Jade
• Sculpted trunk: curved or S-shaped trunks with feathery, layered crowns; every tree is unique, so the shape varies a little from the photos
• Evergreen: stays green through the year
• Easy to style: arrives in a plastic pot; place it inside a decorative planter or repot it into a bonsai pot

Care

• Sunlight: bright light, such as a sunny window or a balcony with morning sun; protect it from harsh midday summer sun
• Watering: keep the soil lightly and evenly moist. Water when the top inch feels dry, and never let it dry out completely or sit in water
• Humidity & temperature: likes some humidity; keep it away from AC vents and hot, dry air. Happiest between 15–32°C
• Fertilizing: once every 30–60 days with NPK 19:19:19 or vermicompost
• Pruning: trim lightly to hold its shape; rotate the pot every week or two for even growth

Can I keep an Araucaria bonsai indoors?
Yes, near a bright window. It grows best with plenty of light, so a sunny window or a shaded balcony suits it better than a dark corner.

Does the pot have a drainage hole?
Yes. The plastic pot has a drainage hole, so excess water drains away.
