Asipidistra elatior 'Milky Way' (Cast Iron Plant) Houseplant Care — 5 of 365

In the fifth edition of "365 Days of Plants", I'm highlighting one of the easiest plants for beginners and also a great plant for low light areas—Apidistra elatior (also commonly known as Cast iron plant). These are usually more expensive plants because they are intensely slow growing. A large specimen can cost in the $100 range.

I saw Aspidistra growing in the understory in the forested mountains of Thailand, so I think it's safe to assume that these plants are accustomed to growing in lower light areas. This particular cultivar has a nice look to it...the little white speckles give it its cultivar name of 'Milky Way'. In this video, we go over Aspidistra care tips and more.
