Caring For A Cast Iron Plant

Cast Iron Plants, are native to the subtropical forests of South Japan. They've evolved to grow in dark environments in the shade of larger trees.

Their ability to tolerate just about any conditions has earned them the near-unkillable status (hence the nickname 'Cast Iron' Plant).

Like a neglected middle-child, this plant will survive with very little attention. Their resilience and tough-guy vibes have made them popular in East Asian households for centuries for this reason.

We're bringing them to the Middle East now 💪

Oh yeah, and did we mention they're pet-safe too?

Light: Most light conditions

The more its gets, the faster it will grow. However, avoid direct sunlight (especially outdoors) as this should scorch its leaves.

Water: Every 2-3 weeks

Cast Iron Plants like their entire soil to dry out completely between waterings. To check if your Cast Iron Plant is ready to be watered, stick your finger into the soil as deeply as possible. If you feel ANY moisture, at all, then wait longer! If it feels completely dry, then it's time to rewater your plant: slowly water the soil so that it's completely saturated - you'll know it's fully saturated when water drips out of the drainage holes on the bottom of the nursery pot.

To be extra-sure, you can also stick your finger through the bottom of the drainage holes underneath its nursery pot, to feel for moisture.

Remember, the more light your plant gets, the more you'll need to water it. Similarly, the less light it gets, the less it will need.

Tip: When checking your soil for moisture, make sure to test different parts of the soil, in case you come across a wet pocket.

Difficulty: Low maintenance

This plant can be fairly picky in terms of light, but if placed in a bright spot and watered when needed, it'll thrive!

Pets: Completely safe

This plant is completely safe and non-toxic to pets.

Meaning & Symbolism

Due to its toughness and ability to grow in nearly any conditions, Aspidistras, in their native, Japan, symbolize perseverance and long-life.

    So far, still alive!

    I kill plants. But since buying this one (plus two prayer plants) from plntd, I have found a new role as a Plarent. With the help I got from their team, both through messages ("what do you mean by 'water the plant'?") and from their excellent YouTube videos, I now have three beautiful, healthy plants, and am already smugly sharing plant advice with friends and family. Gorgeous plant, lovely packaging (would recommend as a gift, the boxes are stunning), and best of all the support is amazing.
