Laurelia novae-zelandiae aka Pukatea

Pukatea’s native range is New Zealand.

Pukatea should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Pukatea prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.
