Aspidistra Elatior
Phytosanitary Certificate
Common Name : CAST IRON PLANT
Botanical Name : Aspidistra elatior
Family Name : Asparagaceae
Ideal for beginners, the cast iron plant is almost foolproof, and can be tucked into shady areas where few others will thrive. While the plain green type is not very exciting, plants with cream splashes, stripes or spots, inject more drama into a display

Water when the top of the compost is dry; reduce watering in winter. Never allow the compost to become waterlogged or soggy |
ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
