Aspidistra elatior, commonly known as the Cast Iron Plant, is a hardy, low-maintenance houseplant valued for its tolerance of low light and neglect. It features broad, dark green, lance-shaped leaves that grow upright from the base, creating a lush, leafy appearance. The Cast Iron Plant is well-suited for indoor environments, especially in areas with minimal sunlight, and is often used as a decorative foliage plant in homes and offices. Its resilience and adaptability make it an excellent choice for beginner plant owners.
