Plant giveaway time!!! But what is this? A cast iron plant? Wha!?! It’s a houseplant and you have it in the ground? Noooo way! Yes, Aspidistra elatior is hardy in USDA zones 7-11 but it can also be a houseplant. Dang! What a fun plant to own, right? True story, this is my original plant and I want to move it. This means I get to divide it in the process. During the summer this spot is too dry and the leaves crisp a bit and it just needs to be divided. I’m tired of watering it when it’s hot so I’m doing it a solid by re-planting “the right plant in the right place”. This is not the right spot for it. (These plants enjoy the shade but will do better where they can be exposed to some rain.)
