Flower care guide
Long, broad, deep green leaves used flat, folded or looped to give an arrangement structure. Its common name tells you everything about its durability.
Recut the stems at an angle. Change the water every four or five days.
Aspidistra is close to indestructible as a cut leaf and will outlast everything around it.
If a leaf dulls with dust, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and the shine returns.
Folded or looped leaves in an arrangement are held with a small pin or a hidden staple. If one comes loose you can reset it with a dressmaking pin pushed through both layers.
The aspidistra earned the nickname cast iron plant in Victorian parlours, where it survived gas lamps, coal smoke and near-total neglect.
