These plants are perennial herbs. The Aspidistra elatior has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. Aspidistra elatior Is an evergreen; during winter iIt assumes a greenwhite colouring; the adult specimens are small in size and reach 60 cm high.

These plants are frightened by direct solar rays, which could ruin their leaves; we suggest to place them in a shady place. These plants are grown in apartment or in a temperated green house; they can be brought outdoors when the minimum temperatures are above 15° C.We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage.

Water Aspidistra elatiorTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 2-3 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 1-2 weeks before watering it. It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases.

Pests Aspidistra elatior
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Aspidistra elatior
These plants favour soft and very well drained soils. We suggest, every 2-3 years to repot the plants, changing the soil.
