☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Cast Iron Plant thrives in a variety of light conditions. It’s perfectly happy in low light but also does well in medium, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water
💧▫️▫️ (Low)
This hardy plant doesn’t demand much water. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can harm the plant, so it’s better to err on the side of too dry rather than too wet.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Aspidistra Elatior enjoys typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 15-24°C. It will tolerate fluctuating temperatures, but avoid placing it near draughty areas or radiators to prevent stress.
💦 Humidity
💦▫️▫️ (Low)
Low to moderate humidity levels are sufficient for this plant, making it a versatile choice for most homes and offices. No need to mist frequently, as it handles average indoor humidity quite well.

Repot your Cast Iron Plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent water retention that can lead to root rot.
