This plant is as tough as its name! Excellent for those difficult-to-fill areas in deep shade, spreading gently by underground stems. A nearly fuss-free, lush, leafy evergreen that will tolerate a range of growing conditions including heat, aridity and dry shade. For a gardener with a brown thumb, this sturdy, long lasting plant can be used in areas where all else fails; it is always green, and can handle deep shade under deck stairs or along foundations that receive almost no sunlight. Thrives in organically rich, well-drained soil, sited in bright shade; tolerates deep shade well. In containers, use a high quality, organic potting mix. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; once established, reduce frequency. Feed with a general-purpose fertilizer in spring. Native to the Osumi Islands of Japan, it inhabits forest floors and receives its common name of Cast Iron Plant due to its ability to survive under dark and neglectful conditions. New species of this plant are currently being discovered throughout East Asia. No serious insect or disease problems. Watch for mites and scale. Overwatering may cause root rot. Direct sun will bleach leaves.

Very happy with my purchase
I was really wary of buying this because it had no reviews. So I'll be the first to say it was perfect. The package arrived very early. It was packaged with wet newspapers to keep the soil moist, and everything was secured well in the box. When i opened it, there were 9 leaves, six of them very large and tall, and all of them in good condition.

Lush, beautiful cast iron plant!
Gorgeous plant! I ordered it on a Sunday, and it arrived the following Saturday carefully packaged and in great shape. The pot was lightly glued to the bottom of the box to prevent movement, and the leaves were gently wrapped in a bundle of plastic. The plastic pot had a tiny crack at the top which didn't matter since I immediately re-potted the plant (roots were already poking out the drain holes). So happy with my new plant, and it is safe for my feline friends!

Sad ending but beautiful start.
It was beautiful when I first bought it but after a few months I’m down to three good leaves. The roots of the others were black and wilted. Since it was my first plant maybe it’s me but it’s suppose to be low maintenance so I don’t know what I could have possibly done wrong.

Gorgeous but arrived with bugs
Plant arrived quickly, was packaged well, and is absolutely stunning. However, it came with bugs. Not a fan of introducing new critters into my apartment.

Beautiful plant
I’ve had this over 3 months now and it’s a beautiful plant that is really easy to take care. It was packaged very well and would order from y’all again.

just as expected
The plant arrived well-packaged and in great condition. I originally only ordered one, because I was uncertain about it, but I’ve since ordered two others and all of them arrived in the same condition. All three were and are very healthy.
