Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra Elatior) - 60-70cm tall
Effortlessly elegant and extremely hardy, the Cast Iron Plant is the perfect beginner’s houseplant.
It gets its nickname from its reputation for being very resilient, coping well with limited light and infrequent watering.
The Aspidistra Elatior, to use its proper name, has been a popular houseplant since the Victorian times for this very reason: unlike most other exotic plants, it survived quite happily in the poor light and air quality of urban environments.
With its wide, gently curving leaves, it has a striking architectural quality and looks great placed alongside furniture.
In terms of watering, you should let its soil dry out thoroughly but then water it well – think the opposite of little and often.
As mentioned, it can handle shade perfectly well but, like any plant, will always grow bigger and faster if you give it more light.£ 24.99
