In article says...
The plant is Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) and can be grown
from cuttings so the loss of some of the root ball should be tolerated.
http://www.floridata.com/ref/a/arau_het.cfm has a lot of info on maintaining
this plant and Google can bring lots more on care as a house plant.
HTH -_- how

Thanks a lot for that website; it was very informative. Unfortunately,
mother nature has been a real b*tch this spring here in Chicago and we're
getting low temps below 40 (including a frost in the suburbs on the frost
free date of May 15!). It was good to know that that plant can't deal
with sub 40 temps so I had to lug that 100+ pound planter inside.
