Description
Aspidistra elatior, better known as the Cast Iron Plant, showcases the "Milky Way" cultivar, known for its strikingly speckled foliage. The deep green leaves, punctuated with starry white spots, make it a sought-after addition to any indoor or outdoor space, bringing a touch of cosmic elegance.
"Milky Way" is an adaptable plant, fitting effortlessly in pots, indoors, or directly in the ground. When planting in sandy soils, a little organic compost goes a long way in ensuring its robust growth. Preferring low to moderate light, it's an ideal choice for shadier spots in a garden or a dim corner inside a house. Its water needs are modest, requiring less in cooler months and a tad more during warmer periods. To enhance its vigour, a dose of general-purpose fertiliser during spring is beneficial. Pruning isn't typically necessary, but any yellowed or damaged leaves can be removed as needed to maintain its appearance.
