Is This the Right Plant for You?
Also known as the barroom plant, the Aspidistra Elatior has been a popular houseplant since the Victorian era of the 1800s, thanks to its ability to thrive in dark, drafty rooms.

Care Essentials

Watering
Approximately 0.2 to 0.33 liter of water once a week in spring and summer, every 10 days to 2 weeks in fall and winter.
Care Guide
For watering, use room-temperature water from which the chlorine has evaporated. Leave the potting soil to dry out between 2 waterings. Remove decorative moss beforehand to avoid wetting it. Water in 2 times, about 10 minutes apart, to allow the potting mix to absorb the water. If necessary, spray the foliage from time to time to maintain an acceptable level of humidity. Clean the foliage once a month with a soft cloth and diluted black soap. Rotate the pot a quarter of a circle at this time to promote harmonious growth. Apply suitable fertilizer once a month from March to September.
