Plant Care

Watering

Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.

Light

Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.

Repotting

Re-pot into a bigger pot as the plant grows. Once a year

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.
