The Araucaria are hardy and half-hardy trees. Araucaria imbricata is the well-known Monkey Puzzle, an evergreen tree often planted as an isolated specimen on lawns or other open spaces. There are also several species for the conservatory or the greenhouse. Many of them assume, in their native habitat, the dimensions of large trees, but all are slow growing and in the young stages make extremely handsome pot plants.
The greenhouse araucarias require cool treatment. During the summer months they must be afforded an abundance of light and air, while a winter temperature of 40 degrees is amply sufficient. Two parts good fibrous loam, one part of leaf-mould, and a little sharp sand form a suitable compost. Repotting, when necessary, should be done in March, but it is well to avoid over-potting. When growing freely the plants require a good supply of water, but very little will suffice for the first week or two after potting.

Araucaria imbricata thrives best in the milder and moister parts of the country, such as Devon and Cornwall and the West of Scotland, also in the South of Ireland. In cold districts it is liable to get somewhat damaged during the winter and become brown and disfigured in parts. It does best in a deep rich loamy soil, but it is not a good tree for planting in towns, as it dislikes smoke and grime. Planting is best done in September, April, or early May.
Araucaria imbricata can be propagated by means of seeds, but in this connection it should be noted that the female cones take two seasons to develop, and then ripen their seeds towards the end of the summer. These should be sown in a warm greenhouse in February or March in light soil, the seeds being covered 1 inch deep.
Seed sown in pans or boxes in a cool greenhouse offers a satisfactory method of increasing the greenhouse species, but germination is slow. An alternative is to take cuttings of the leading shoots and insert in sandy loam during the autumn months. In a genial temperature they will form roots by the following spring.
