Re: norfolk pine
On the care and maintenance of a Norfolk Island Pine? Bright light, some morning sun is alright. Thoroughly water, and then allow to almost dry between waterings (be careful of the plant drying out though). Balanced fertilizer quarter to half strength with each watering during active growing season (May through September to be safe) on damp soil. They love to be misted, or if the plant is not large, haul into the shower stall and hose down. An effective way to wash, mist and water plant all at once. Repot once a year while small until plant is in 12 - 14 inch pot and then top-dress with fresh soil if it becomes too difficult to repot. That's the basics anyway. Hope this helps.
