Looked at my plant again, and it is not a cast iron. It is a Janet Craig dracaena that is toxic. Happy to learn about another non-toxic plant. Thank you for you video.

Thank you for the very informative video. Like another of those who have viewed your video I inherited my aspidistra from my late mother as she did herself from her mother who died in the very early sixties, I would therefore guess that this plant is at least seventy years old!

Great video!

Awesome video ... thanks for relating your personal experiences with your plant, too. It's good to know that putting it temporarily in brighter conditions stimulated new growth so quickly.

Looks like a Peace Lily. Never heard of a Cast iron plant before. It’s really nice

These are beautiful hardy plants that originate from Japan....they are perfect for a no care plant around the foundation of your house and steps as long as they are in shade.....they are so hardy and nothing seems to "eat" them at all. One of my favorites. Thank you for this video, Andrew : )....beautiful accent you have

I inherited my cast iron plant. It’s over 40 years old now. And I swear has a personality if it’s own !! Lol , great video 😍

Thank You for sharing those gorgeous plants! Really gives positive vibes and energy!😊💕happy gardening hugs from Japan!😃💕

Thank you! I just got a cast iron plant for the first time and your video is extremely helpful. I am not known to have a 'green thumb' so hopefully your great advice (and my not loving it to death!) will help with it's success. Thanks again!

Great video - thanks for making it! I've got Cast Iron outside (Zone 7B) in the shady flowerbeds. Planting more this Spring!

So glad I saw your video. I now have a better understanding about the brown leaf tips. I ourchased mine online. It aaroved woth some leaves with brown tips and a couple of small curled, deep green leaves. Currently, still some brown leaf tips. The new growth looks fine. I guess ill just wait for new growth before removing leaves with brown tips. Or...can i cut them all off? Will new growth occur, or would cutting it back kill the plant entirely?

Thanks for the informative video. I learned some things, but still have a question. What causes leaves to turn yellow? I have a small plant with only four leaves. One leaf, the smallest, rotted at the base & another has turned yellow. I do see a new sprout coming up. I have moved it today from shade to about two feet away from a north window. I live in western Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula, where we have "English weather," 60% humidity and little sun.

I just bought 2 of these to live at the back of 1 of my rooms, not to much light there. ill suppose ill leave em somewhat closer to the window for the rest of the summer to spark some growth, so that they can be bigger and greener through the winter

My cast iron plant is new to me, and as soon as I brought it home within a few weeks, it was turning bright yellow. I loved your video. You mentioned discoloration one time due to too much light? But mine sits in the corner of the bathroom with one LED light on the ceiling. Is this too much light?

Any tips on yellowing streaky leaves? I water mine just once a month in a north facing window, indirect sunlight

This is such a great video, thanks for the tips and personal experience. I have this plant for 4 months now, and I noticed the other day that the roots are coming out of the drainage holes, so I should definitely repot it. But do you think I should wait until spring to do it in warmer weather or is it ok to do it now? This is the first winter I'm gonna have with it, and since I don't know what to expect, I want to ask if you experienced any new growth during fall and winter or does it grow only during spring and summer? Do you recommend moving it closer to the light in winter, since the sun is not as strong? Also, I've been thinking of repotting it in LECA, would you recommend that (if you have experience with it), or do you think it's better to repot it in the soil mix you mentioned in this video? Thanks.

I inherited what I think is a cast iron plant - the leaves look like a match, but multiple leaves grow out from a main stem(s) from a rhizome (my tallest stems are about 2 feet in height). Most of the pictures I'm seeing seem to only bear a single leaf from each "stem" so that's why I'm not sure. The rhizome almost has a ginger-root-like plant appearance, and is partly exposed on the soil surface with roots descending into the soil. Does what I describe sound like a cast iron plant or perhaps something else? Whatever I have it seems to match the characteristics described - I can't take it outside in direct sun or the leaves will burn, so I have it in a breakfast room with plenty of morning light. I'm always forgetting to water it (weeks go by) and it hasn't died - though it doesn't look great (smaller leaves that turn yellow then brown). I want to repot it since the soil is probably 15+ years old. I just water it irregularly and don't fertilize. I could probably separate the main stems and their associated rhizomes into separate pots. This plant deserves better, so now than I'm retired I want to be a better caretaker and give it the treatment it deserves.

Mine hasn’t given a new leaf in months! I am going to try and water it more, because I neglect it often. I have it 10 feet from a south facing window under a grow light. I’m thinking its my watering or maybe lack of nutrients?

My tips are turning brown!!

Any guidance on using tap water versus softened or rain water? Concerned about mineral buildup from somewhat hard tap water. I have a white crust on the soil and brown tips, don't think it was over fertilised so wondering if it is from hard water. Thanks!

does anyone know where I can buy Aspidistra Elatior seeds? I would like to grow this plant - Thanks

did the Iron Plant can produce flowers?

Thanks for this video. I have this plant but I had a hard time identifying it because of the way it was potted. The soil is very high so I couldn't see the long stems that yours has. Should I remove several inches of soil? Currently, the soil level is close to where the leaves come up. It is a small plant and the tallest leaf is about 9 inches (8 cm) from the soil level. Thanks for any advice. I also like your accent! What part of Ireland are you from?

hi everybody. I bought one in April and since then my cast iron plant havent push out a single leaf. I repotted it in July and have been fertilizing it frequently. but still no leafs.what should I do to sprout new shoots?

I have 40+ plants, and this is the one I can't keep alive... Go figure! 😂

My Cast iron plant isn't very big but in a large pot. It was a gift, so I left it in the pot. Should I repot it into a smaller pot??

I have a cast iron plant that I discovered very surprisingly. It grew out if the soil of which I had another group if flowers that died. I didn't know what the plant was and thought it was a weed...however it kept growing and is a lovely plant. Recently we had a few nights of frost and I forgot to bring her in. Her leaves have grown and are falling over looking droopy😢😢 I moved her inside,tried to repot her and stand the leaves upward by tying them together..sadly I don't think this is the right thing to do and I fear she could be dying...please HELP...I don't know how to care for her and don't want to lose her.😢😢

You didn't mention about when it flowers

Your blinking makes me a little nervous. So I listened more than I watched. Lovely content, all the questions I had were answered, thanks!

This poor man is forced to live in an IKEA showroom. 😔 Good plant video though 👍🏽

When talking about low light or lighting in general its pointless without measuring the light in Lux or Lumens.
