We love this plant because it’s so hardy! The Aspidistra plant is named the Cast Iron plant for a good reason! It’s very easy to look after and care for, and almost indestructible!
The iron plant is part of the lily family and its native home is China and Asia, where it used to grow in poor soil under trees, so it is very good at surviving neglect!
Since Victorian times this variegated Aspidistra has been very popular with its beautiful, paddle shaped, elegant leaves that have graced many a film set. You can capture this style in your own home and enjoy the sophisticated looks of the Aspidistra plant in any room.
It’s a slow grower - which has its advantages because you will know that it will fit the space chosen for it! It’s not a rare plant but it is hard to find in this large size, however you can get it here in our houseplant shop!
The plant is sold in a plastic grow pot. Add a decorative pot to complete the look.
