The Aspidistra Elatior, also known as the cast iron plant, is a hardy evergreen plant that hails from Japan and China. Its resilience to neglect makes it the perfect choice for those who lack a green thumb. This stemless plant grows up to 3 feet tall and is an excellent choice for those who want to bring some nature indoors. The plant's green foliage is complemented by cream-colored stripes along the edges or center of each leaf. The linear leaves grow over a foot long and 5 inches wide and display prominent ribs. While the cast iron plant can bloom tiny flowers near the base of the foliage, it is mainly grown for its attractive foliage. The plant's ability to tolerate dry air, low light, and lack of watering make it easy to care for. However, over-watering and re-potting too often can cause problems for the plant. For those who want to keep their cast iron plant looking its best, cleaning the leaves with a soft sponge and water is recommended.
