King of the shadow

A real eye-catcher! The cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior) is the king of shade. The long green leaves shine in the shade. This indoor plant is very easy to care for too! We love them.
The Aspidistra prefers full or partial shade. Don't water the indoor plant until the potting soil feels dry to the touch.

How do I take care of my Aspidistra?
Aspidistras are shade plants, they love low light and can last a long time without water. They are very strong plants that require very little attention. They cannot handle the afternoon sun, and only need a little bit of water when the soil feels dry to the touch.

Give your Aspidistra a little plant nutrition every three weeks in spring and summer, and new potting soil every three years.

Talking to your plant is quite acceptable, but there is no actual scientific proof that it helps.
Care
What do I need?
  • Planter
  • Potting soil
  • Hydro grains (optional)

How to plant the Aspidistra in a pot?
This houseplant is delivered in a standard growers pot. It’s best for the growth of the Aspidistra to plant it in a decorative planter. Select a pot that is at least 20 percent larger than the growers pot.

Cover the bottom of the decorative planter with a layer of potting soil. Does the decorative pot have a hole? Then start with a layer of hydro grains, so the water can drain away. The Aspidistra should be 1 to 2 cm below the rim. Remove the growers pot and place the plant in the middle of the decorative pot. Fill the pot with fresh potting soil and press it down slightly.
