10" Cast Iron

Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra elatior)
The Cast Iron Plant is famous for being nearly indestructible—earning its name from its ability to thrive on neglect. With its long, glossy, dark green leaves that grow upright from the soil, it adds a lush, elegant touch to homes and offices. It’s an ideal choice for low-light corners or for plant parents who want something hardy and forgiving.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Adaptable—tolerates low light extremely well but also grows in bright, indirect light
💧 Water: Water when the top inch or two of soil is dry; very drought tolerant once established
🌫 Humidity: Handles average household humidity with ease
❄️ Temperature: Prefers normal indoor temps (60–80°F); protect from extreme cold
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes

Fun Fact: The Cast Iron Plant has been grown as a houseplant since the Victorian era, when it was prized for its ability to thrive in dim, gas-lit homes. It’s still one of the toughest plants you can own—perfect for beginners or “black thumb” gardeners. 🌿✨
