Cast Iron Plant

True to its name, Cast Iron Plant is one of the toughest houseplants you can grow. With broad, deep green leaves that rise upright from the soil, it has a clean, architectural look and a reputation for handling less-than-perfect conditions. Low light? Busy schedule? A forgotten watering now and then? It takes it all in stride.

Aspidistra

Aspidistra are durable, slow-growing foliage plants prized for their resilience and classic form. They adapt well to indoor environments, especially spaces where other tropicals might struggle. While they tolerate neglect, steady care will keep their leaves glossy and strong for years.

Caring for Cast Iron Plant

 Light Needs

Low to moderate light is ideal. It performs beautifully in shaded corners and rooms with indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

 Watering

Allow the top several centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. Cast Iron Plant prefers to be slightly on the drier side rather than consistently wet.

 Feeding

Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.
