Plant Trivia:
Aspidistra Elatior is also known as the cast iron plant, which is an appropriate title given its cast-iron constitution. It was a popular Royal houseplant due to its ability to survive fumes from coal fires and gas lamps and could tolerate gloomy conditions. Since the cast iron plant prefers to be pot-bound, only repot when the roots emerge from the bottom or top of the pot. Every spring, top dress with fresh compost.
