Infrequent watering
Tolerant to low-light
Near-unkillable
Pet-friendlyBuilt to survive where other plants can't, the Cast Iron Plant is the perfect low-maintenance choice for the UAE's air-conditioned interiors.
The Cast Iron Plant is one of the easiest plants to own. It has big, deep green leaves that look great, but it doesn't need much from you to survive.
Resilient enough to handle droughts, low-light, and strong AC, this indoor plant earned its name for surviving in spaces other plants would not.
Also known as Aspidistra elatior, the iron plant or bar-room plant. One of the most forgiving plants you can buy in the UAE.
Sizes: choose your height: 50cm, 70cm or 80cm.
Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It also adapts to medium light and darker spots, so it suits offices and rooms away from windows. Keep it out of direct midday sun.
Water: Let the soil dry out completely before watering. Check the soil every 2-4 weeks. In UAE homes with the AC on, check with your finger before watering.
Pets: pet-friendly, so it suits homes with cats and dogs.
Choosing between low-light plants? The Cast Iron Plant has broad, dark green leaves on single stems. The ZZ Plant and Snake Plant are just as tough but look more architectural.
Delivered across the UAE: we deliver in Dubai and across the UAE. Choose the Circle pot for a cement planter handmade in the UAE by Plntd, or keep the plant in its nursery pot.
Botanical name: Aspidistra Elatior
Let its soil dry out entirely before watering
Every 2-4 weeks, check as deeply into the soil as you can:
- If you feel ANY moisture, at all, wait longer before watering.
- If the soil feels COMPLETELY DRY, then it’s time to water.
Note: you can use a chopstick to check the moisture.
Discard excess water
When watering, fully water the entire soil mixture. Then, allow all the excess water to drain out the bottom of the pot’s drainage holes. Discard that water.
