Aspidistra elatior 'Variegata'

Care at a glance

Water

Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Light

Thrives in low to very low light conditions. Direct sunlight will scorch its leaves.

Humidity

Tolerates average household humidity well.

Temperature

Prefers temperatures between 50-85°F (10-29°C), but can tolerate cooler conditions.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for houseplants.

Fertilizer

Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring to fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Toxicity

Non-toxic to pets and humans.

Propagation

Propagate by division, separating clumps of rhizomes with at least one leaf and roots. This is best done during repotting in spring.
