Is Aspidistra suitable for indoor cultivation?

1. Is it suitable for indoor cultivation?

It is very suitable for indoor cultivation. Because of its dark green leaves, graceful posture, strong growth, cold and shade resistance, it is an ideal indoor potted plant. If you place it indoors or in the office, it can serve as a greening and decorating room, or it can be arranged together with other flowering plants for a better ornamental effect.

2. Indoor breeding methods

1. Soil

When growing it indoors, you must first choose suitable soil. Usually, it does not have high requirements for the soil, as long as it is loose, fertile, slightly acidic sandy soil. Here we can use a mixture of leaf mold, peat soil and garden soil.

2. Moisture

It needs a lot of water during its growing season. At this time, you need to water it sufficiently, keep the soil in the pot moist, and spray water on the leaves frequently to promote the growth of new leaves. Then after autumn, you can reduce watering appropriately.

3. Lighting

It can grow indoors with sufficient light all year round, but be careful not to make the light too strong, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow due to short-term exposure to the sun, which will greatly reduce the ornamental effect.

4. Appropriate fertilization

Fertilizer is very important for plants because it provides sufficient nutrients. The same is true for Aspidistra. During its growth period, you should apply more fertilizer, an appropriate amount each time, once a month. In addition, when adding fertilizer, it is best to mix the fertilizer with water first, and then pour it into the soil. Make sure it does not stick to the leaves.
