< Back Aspidistra elatior Cast-Iron Plant Cast iron plants are native to the forest floors of Japan, China, and Taiwan. They were first introduced to Europe in the 19th century, and then to the United States in the early 20th century. The plant gets its common name from its ability to survive in low light conditions, and its durability - it can survive in a wide range of temperatures, from 50°F to 85°F. Habit: An upright, erect, slow growing perennial plant growing up to 100 cm tall producing shiny, dark green elliptical leaves on long stalks. Flowers are rarely produced and small, reddish-purple and bloom at ground level. Temperature: Plants grow best between 15 to 25ᐤ C and temperatures below 4ᐤ C may result in the death of the plant. Avoid placing plants in windy or drafty locations which can lead to less attractive plants. Light Exposure: Plants grow well in low to moderate light levels and are adaptable to many areas within a house where most other plants will not grow; however, plants cannot grow in total darkness or full sun. Watering: Aspidistra can be fairly drought tolerant storing moisture in its root system, however; watering once a week during the rainy season, once every two weeks in the cold dry season and once to twice a week during the hot dry season will be adequate. Fertilising: Cast iron plants do not require a lot of fertiliser. They can be fed once or twice a year with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the spring and summer months. Avoid fertilising during the winter months when the plant is dormant. Pruning/Repotting: Cast iron plants prefer to be slightly pot-bound, so repotting is not necessary very often. When it is time to repot, do so in the spring or early summer. Use a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter.Remove drying leaves as necessary. Repot plants every four to five years or when it has outgrown its current pot when the roots are growing over the edge of the pot. Pests/Diseases: Cast iron plants are relatively pest-resistant, but they can occasionally be bothered by mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. To prevent these pests, inspect your plants regularly and remove any affected leaves. You can also use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat any infestations. In conclusion, cast iron plants are incredibly hardy and adaptable houseplants that can survive in a wide range of conditions. They are low-maintenance, making them a great choice for beginners or those who don't have a lot of time to devote to plant care. By following the tips outlined above, you can ensure that your cast iron plant thrives for years to come. < Back Next

< Back Thaumatophyllum species & cultivars Thaumatophyllum species & cultivars Thaumatophyllum is a genus of plants that belong to the Araceae family, which also includes popular houseplants like philodendrons and monsteras. Thaumatophyllums are known for their striking foliage and easy-to-care-for nature, making them a great addition to any indoor plant collection. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about Thaumatophyllum care, including their origin, habitat, popular cultivars, and how to keep them healthy. Origin and Habitat: Thaumatophyllum is native to South America, where it grows in tropical rainforests. The plant was formerly known as Philodendron bipinnatifidum, but in 2018, it was reclassified as Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum. Thaumatophyllums are commonly found growing in the understory of the rainforest, where they receive dappled sunlight and moderate humidity. Habit: Medium to very large, sometimes semi-woody evergreen perennial plants producing small to large lobed green leaves. Temperature: Plants grow best between 20 to 30ᐤ C and temperatures below 4ᐤ C will result in the death of the plants. Light Exposure: Thaumtophyllum plants mostly grow best in bright, indirect light locations. Plants may survive in medium, indirect light but they will not thrive and may, overtime, decline. Watering: Plants like a moist growing medium but not soggy; water only when the top 3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Always check the soil moisture first but as a rule of thumb watering once a week in the rainy season, once every two or three weeks in the cold dry season and usually twice a week in the hot dry season. In addition, regularly misting the leaves in the hot dry season will help keep the foliage looking great. Humidity: Thaumatophyllums prefer moderate to high humidity levels, which can be difficult to achieve in dry indoor environments. To increase humidity, place a tray of water near the plant or use a humidifier. You can also mist the leaves with room-temperature water to increase humidity levels. Fertilising: Plants are generally heavy feeders and give them a well balanced fertiliser twice a month during the hot dry season and rainy season but not during the cold dry season when plants are resting (semi-dormant). Pruning/Repotting: Thaumatophyllums prefer well-draining soil, so make sure to use a potting mix that includes perlite or sand to improve drainage. When potting up your plant, choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to allow for growth. Thaumatophyllums have a shallow root system, so a wider pot is better than a deeper one. Remove yellowing, brown or heavily damaged leaves as necessary and occasionally the tip growth will need to be pruned out if growing well above the climbing pole. Repotting of the plants will depend on its growth rate but plants usually indicate that they should be repotted once the roots really start growing out the bottom of the pot. Ideally repot in the spring into a pot one or maybe two sizes larger than what it is currently growing in. Pests/Diseases: Thaumatophyllum are relatively resistant to pests and diseases if well looked after and happy; however, they can be attacked by thrips, mealy bug and spider mites if the plants are stressed. Diseases that affect the plants are usually caused by overwatering which can invite fungal and bacterial pathogens that cause root rots and leaf spot problems. In conclusion, Thaumatophyllums are a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that can add a tropical touch to any indoor space. By following the tips in this guide, you can ensure that your Thaumatophyllum stays healthy and thriving for years to come. < Back Next

< Back Ficus benjamina Weeping Fig Ficus benjamina is a member of the Moraceae family and is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Australia. It is a large, evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 meters in height in its natural habitat. The weeping fig has small, dark green, glossy leaves that are alternate, ovate, and tapering at both ends. The tree produces figs that are green when young and turn to purple when they are ripe. In the wild, Ficus benjamina grows in tropical rainforests, but it has been widely cultivated as an ornamental plant and is popular as an indoor plant. Habit: Indoors plants are grown in the shape of a small tree (standard) or a shrub up to 2 m tall with woody stems and branches bearing solid green or green and white or green and yellow variegated leaves. The tiny little fig fruits are rarely produced on indoor potted plants. Temperature: Plants grow best between 15 to 25ᐤ C and temperatures below 4ᐤ C may result in the death of the plant. Avoid placing plants in windy or drafty locations which can lead to less attractive plants. Light Exposure: Indoors, both the solid green leaf and variegated leaved plants will grow well in bright, indirect light to some exposure to direct light. If placed in too dark of a location, leaves will yellow rapidly and fall and the plant will start to decline. Watering: Weeping fig likes a moist growing medium but not soggy; water only when the top 5-10 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Always check the soil moisture first but as a rule of thumb watering once or twice a week in the rainy season, once every two or three weeks in the cold dry season and once or twice a week in the hot dry season. Fertilising: Give plants a well balanced fertiliser once or twice a month during the hot dry season and rainy season but not during the cold dry season when plants are resting (semi-dormant). Pruning/Repotting: Potting Up: Ficus benjamina prefers to be slightly root-bound, so repotting is only necessary when the plant outgrows its current pot. Remove any yellowing or brown and dry leaves as needed; occasionally small to medium sized branches will die back and dry and these stems should be pruned out. Weeping figs can stay in the same pot for a number of years if you want to keep the plant from growing larger; if you want the plant to grow larger repot in spring to a slightly larger pot. When repotting, use a well-draining soil mix and a pot with good drainage holes to prevent over-watering. Pest Control: Ficus benjamina is susceptible to spider mites, scale insects, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests, such as webbing, white or brown spots on the leaves, or sticky residue on the plant. To control pests, you can use insecticidal soap or neem oil spray. In conclusion, Ficus benjamina is a beautiful and popular houseplant that is easy to care for if you understand its needs. By following the tips outlined in this blog post, you can ensure that your weeping fig thrives in your home for many years to come. < Back Next
