What kind of araucaria - A. heterophylla or Norfolk Island Pine? Most of the other species do not make successful houseplants. NIP needs bright, indirect light free from drafts with watering only to keep from drying out in winter. If possible, move to a protected location outdoors during summer and provide bimonthly fertilization.

This may help:

It is, I think you misread spam's posting. Norfolk Island Pine is Araucaria heterophylla. The only other species I know of in that genus is araucaria araucana(monkey puzzle).
