Cast Iron Plant

Plant Bio

A native of the forest floors of Japan and Taiwan, the cast-iron plant gained popularity in homes in Europe and America during the Victorian era, and it has gone in and out of fashion repeatedly since then. This evergreen foliage plant that can grow up to three feet tall regularly appears on lists of hard-to-kill houseplants, and is perfect for homes, offices, and even dimly-lit bars.Growing cast iron plants is especially favored by those who don’t have a lot of time for plant care, as this species can survive even the most extreme conditions where other plants would shrivel and die, which makes cast iron plant care a snap.

The cast iron plant grows well in low light indoors and is not finicky about regular water either. Although the cast iron plant will tolerate extreme conditions, it’s always a good idea to provide plenty of water, especially during very dry periods. They can grow in dim light. This plant also responds well to organic soil and an annual dose of all-purpose fertilizer. Although new plants are slow to grow, with some patience and time, the new plant will thrive.
