Aspidistra Aka Cast Iron Plant
£25.00
Meet the Aspidistra, aka the cast iron plant: this plant earned its nickname by being practically indestructible. You could forget to water it for weeks, leave it in a dark corner, heck, you could even try to run it over with a truck, and it would probably just shrug it off and keep on growing. So, if you want a plant that can handle anything life throws its way (including your forgetfulness), the Aspidistra is your green superhero.
Comes in a 17cm diameter nursery pot and stands 35-45cm tall.
Indoor Aspidistra Plant Care Guide:
Light:
- Aspidistra plants thrive in low to moderate indirect light conditions.
- They can tolerate low light but may grow more slowly.
- Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering Schedule:
- Aspidistra plants prefer slightly moist soil but can withstand periods of drought.
- Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings.
- In winter, reduce watering frequency to prevent overwatering and root rot.
Toxicity:
- Aspidistra plants are non-toxic to humans and pets, making them safe to keep indoors.
- However, ingestion may still cause mild stomach upset in pets, so it’s best to keep them out of reach of curious animals.
Overall Care Rating:
it doesn’t get the name “cast iron” from nowhere, perfect for the black thumbed!
Remember: Consistent care and occasional dusting of leaves will keep your Aspidistra happy and healthy for years to come.
