Are you looking for an easy-to-care and pet-friendly houseplant that embodies resilience and is almost indestructible? Then, Aspidistra Elatior, commonly known as cast iron plant or bar plant would be perfect for you!  Perfect for busy lifestyles, inexperienced plant lovers and less-than-ideal growing conditions at home or workplace. You really can’t kill this plant! (but please don’t try ;)!)

The Cast Iron Plant is forgiving by nature, needing minimal attention. You can almost forget it’s there! It’s drought-tolerant, which means it doesn’t need frequent watering and can survive longer without water than other plants. It also thrives in a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright, indirect light to low-light corners. This beautiful hassle-free plant doesn’t really care about humidity and can thrive in low-high humid environments.

Please note, due to nature of the product there may be some brown edges or small discolorations on leaves which does not impact the plants health.

Pet Friendly

How often should I water my Cast Iron Plant?
Water your plant sparingly; it thrives on neglect in this regard! Allow the top soil to dry out completely before watering again, which might be every 1-2 weeks depending on indoor conditions.
Is the Cast Iron Plant suitable for low-light office environments?
Absolutely, this plant is ideal for low-light conditions, making it perfect for office spaces or dim corners of your home where other plants might struggle.
Are there any special considerations for pet owners when handling this plant?
No special precautions are needed as it is completely pet-friendly. You and your furry friends can enjoy its presence without worry.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Cast Iron Plant is quite adaptable when it comes to lighting. It flourishes in medium light but is also perfectly happy in low-light conditions, making it ideal for those darker corners of your home or office.

💧 Water

💧▫️▫️ (Low)

This plant is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can harm it, so less is definitely more with this hardy plant.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

Aspidistra Elatior thrives in average room temperatures. It handles variations well, but try to keep it away from draughty areas and direct heat sources like radiators.

💦 Humidity

💦▫️▫️ (Low)

No need to worry about humidity for this plant. It’s very forgiving and can thrive in both low and higher humidity environments.

🪴 Repotting

Repotting is seldom needed as the Cast Iron Plant grows slowly. Consider repotting only every 2-3 years or if you see roots growing through the drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure the best growth.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic and safe for pets. You can place it anywhere in your home without worrying about the safety of your furry friends.

🏠 Recommended locations at home

Ideal locations include living rooms, bedrooms, and offices, especially in spots that don’t get much natural light. Its air-purifying qualities make it a great addition to any space.

🌿 Air Purifying

Yes, the Cast Iron Plant helps purify the air. It’s known to filter out common household toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene, making your indoor air cleaner and healthier.

    Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.

    Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
