Aspidistra 'Cast Iron'

Aspidistra ‘Cast Iron’, true to its nickname cast iron plant, is celebrated for being one of the toughest and most resilient houseplants you can grow. Native to the forests of Japan and Taiwan, it has broad, dark green, glossy leaves that rise directly from the soil, creating a simple yet elegant clumping form. Its ability to thrive in low light, tolerate neglect, and resist pests has made it a classic choice for homes, offices, and shady garden spots.

This plant prefers indirect to low light, evenly moist but well-draining soil, and can withstand a wide range of indoor conditions, including dry air and inconsistent watering. While it grows slowly, its durability and timeless beauty make Aspidistra ‘Cast Iron’ a symbol of endurance and an ideal plant for beginners or anyone seeking low-maintenance greenery.
