Plant Care
Light Requirements
While it can tolerate low light, Aspidistra prefers moderate to low indirect light. It’s a great choice for areas with limited natural light, such as offices or rooms with north-facing windows.
Watering
Aspidistras prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important to allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out before watering again. In general, they are more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering.
Temperature and Humidity
Aspidistras are comfortable in typical indoor temperatures. They can tolerate a range of humidity levels but generally prefer moderate humidity.
Fertilizing
Fertilize sparingly, especially during the growing season (spring and summer). Too much fertilizer can lead to leaf burn.
