We love this Cast Iron plant because it’s so hardy! The Aspidistra plant is named the Cast Iron plant for a good reason! It’s easy to look after and care for and almost indestructible! The Cast Iron Plant, or Aspidistra elatior, is a hardy and attractive evergreen plant that is native to the forest floors of Japan and Taiwan. Despite its tropical origins, this plant is incredibly resilient and can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor cultivation.

The Cast Iron Plant grows in moist, shaded areas in the wild, typically under dense tree canopies. It thrives in the loamy, acidic soils found in these areas and can grow in areas with little light, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation. The plant grows in clumps of glossy, dark green, lance-shaped leaves that can grow up to 2 feet long and 4 inches wide. The plant's root system comprises rhizomes that spread horizontally, allowing it to form a dense, bushy habit. In early spring, the plant produces small, insignificant, purple-brown flowers on short stems near the base of the leaves.

The Cast Iron Plant is a great houseplant choice due to its hardiness and low maintenance requirements. It is ideal for beginners or those with busy lifestyles, as it is very forgiving regarding watering and light. 

To care for the Cast Iron Plant, ensure that it is planted in a well-draining potting mix and that the soil is kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. The plant can tolerate low light conditions, making it perfect for homes or offices with minimal natural light. If the plant becomes too large for its container, it can be repotted in the spring. Fertilize the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to keep it healthy.

When styling the Cast Iron Plant with a pot, choose a container slightly larger than the current pot, as this plant prefers to be a little root bound. Terracotta pots are a great choice, allowing for better drainage and airflow. For a more contemporary look, consider a minimalist white or black pot. Consider a woven basket or a wooden pot for a more natural look.

In summary, the Cast Iron Plant is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that is perfect for indoor cultivation. Its attractive foliage and air-purifying qualities make it a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of green to their home or office. With the proper care and styling, this versatile plant can thrive and bring a touch of nature to any space.

Since Victorian times this variegated Aspidistra Elatior has been very popular with its beautiful, paddle-shaped, elegant leaves that have graced many a film set. You can capture this style in your own home and enjoy the sophisticated looks of the Cast Iron Plant in any room.  

It’s a slow grower - which has advantages because you will know that it will fit the space chosen! It’s not a rare plant, but it is hard to find in this large size. However, you can get it here in our houseplant shop!

If you’re buying the Cast Iron plant as a special gift, we’ll enclose a free, handwritten card with your order. Just note your message at the basket stage of the checkout, and we’ll do the rest! No paperwork is included either to spoil the surprise!

Where should I put the Cast Iron Plant?

The Cast Iron plant likes a dry, bright spot and can tolerate some full sun but not all day.

How should I water it?

When you feel the top two inches of soil are dry, this plant can survive being left alone; in fact, it prefers it!

Is it suitable if I have pets?

It’s not toxic to cats and dogs. A pet-safe houseplant.

Do I need to feed it?

You can give a feed once a month in spring and summer. Why not try our vegan, organic plant food?

Works well, long use on single charge, high torque - be careful when starting
Color: Black, Size: Rechargeable
Not the most inexpensive powered whisker bur I've used other Typhor products and found them reliable for the task designed. I fell they don't cheap out on the rechargeable battery so I don't fell they will catch fire, as we are hearing about from other cheaper rechargeable items. I liked 2 things about this model the speed control is by a pressure single switch which I can control, not just pick speed 1,2,3. The swappable tips allow for different uses. I don't drink coffee but use the item to whisk eggs for an omelets and it has the torque to mix them without effort. In Fact need to only use half power else it will splatter out of my mixing vessel.

Powerful, Convenient, and Worth Every Penny
Color: Black
This frother is exactly what I needed to take my morning coffee to the next level. It’s powerful, easy to use, and the fact that it’s USB-C rechargeable is a total win. ☕ Smooth, Frothy Results in Seconds It whips up foam quickly and consistently, whether I’m using regular milk, oat milk, or blending bulletproof coffee. The speed settings make it easy to control the froth level, and it’s strong enough to mix protein powders and other drinks too. 🔋 Rechargeable & Long-Lasting One charge lasts a surprisingly long time — I’ve used it daily for over a week without needing to plug it in again. The USB-C charging is super convenient and charges it fast. 🧼 Easy to Clean & Maintain Cleanup is a breeze. Just rinse the whisk head under warm water immediately after use and it’s good to go. The extra whisk head is a nice bonus in case you ever need a backup. ✅ Pros: Strong frothing power with multiple speeds USB-C rechargeable with great battery life Easy one-button control Includes a backup whisk head Quiet, efficient, and compact ❌ Cons: Doesn’t include a stand (but that’s clearly noted and not an issue for me) Overall: This frother delivers on everything — performance, convenience, and durability. If you want café-quality drinks at home without breaking the bank, this is a solid pick.

Great Frother
Color: Black
Before I purchase anything, I like to reach out to the seller first and find out more about the warranty. Elisa responded very quickly and explained the warranty to me. She also told me how to register my frother once I received it. My frother was delivered in the evening so I used it the following day. I didn't need to charge it because it already had a charge. It was easy to use and frothed my 2% milk and my flavored creamer perfectly. I am very happy with it, so far. To sum it up: 1) Elisa was responsive and genuinely seemed to care about her customers, which gave me confidence in making this purchase. 2) Frother works great with milk and milk products. 3) I'm glad I won't have to be replacing batteries. All I have to do is plug it in and I'll be good to go. Plus, the charging cord comes with it. If you are having doubts let me reassure you, you won't be sorry if you purchase it. I really think you'll like it. Edit #1: I have had this frother for less than 6 months. This is the 2nd time I have had to charge it; pretty impressive, huh? Each charge lasted for about 2 months! Unfortunately, when I went to use it the following day it was completely dead. The charge did not hold and I was unable to use it. I have read reviews about this happening, but, like most people, I didn't think it would happen to me. Well, it did. I contacted the seller and I will update with the end result. I really do like this frother and I am hoping the seller will do the right thing. Edit #2: I received the new frother within a week. Like the previous one, it came with a charge. Elisa, the customer service rep, was responsive, which I appreciated. It's nice to have my frothy coffee again; I really missed it. I hope this frother lasts longer than 6 months, but if it doesn't, I hope Elisa will help me again. So, in a nutshell, this company offers great customer service and backs up their product. Fingers crossed I won't have to reach out to them again concerning a frother that won't charge.

Beyond worth it!
Color: Black
Before this, I used battery powered frothers and couldn’t keep up with replacing the batteries. As soon as the batteries began to lose their charge, the frothers weren’t powerful enough. Somehow, this doesn’t begin to lose its charge until the charge runs out. I’ve spent a fraction of the price buying this as I did on batteries. I got this in Aug 2024. It’s amazing and incredibly powerful. In a year, I charged it 3 times. If you don’t get the froth you’re looking for, I’d suggest you watch a video on how to froth correctly. I learned there’s a proper technique that really improves the outcome. It made a world of difference for me. The charge time advertised is not correct. It lasts much much much longer on one charge. After the charge died, I charged it for maybe an hour and then I used it to whisk thick body butter. When washing it, I got it too wet. The motor wouldn’t stop running, so I called it a loss and put it outside to let it run until it stopped. It ran for hours. Sometime during the night it shut off. The next day, I pressed the on button again and it ran the entire day. It has a warranty, but I never registered mine, so I don’t mind paying for a replacement since it is so inexpensive. I’m writing this review now because I liked it so much that I just purchased another one to replace it. I hope this helps. If you’re unsure: It is incredibly powerful, but has two speeds, so one will work for any frothing needs. The price is unbeatable, much less than you’ll spend on batteries. The charge lasts unbelievably long and stays just as powerful until the charge runs out. It is detachable, so washing it is really simple. Just wipe the top part.

Mostly good, with one design flaw - See Update - Five stars for new version!
Color: White
*I bumped my rating from 3 to 4 stars because of the customer service. The seller's response to customer reviews is excellent. This particular model (MF05) still gets 3 stars from me, but the new version (MF09) is definitely a 5 star product. See update below.* Second Update: I received the new version (FoodVille MF09), and really like it. It solves the variable speed problem. Three speeds are still available, however, each has its own on/off switch, so no more cycling through. It also comes with an additional hook attachment for mixing powders with liquid, as well as a charging stand. It is a few dollars more, but most definitely worth it! Buy the MF09 version, https://amazon.com/FoodVille-Rechargeable-Stainless-Cappuccino-Bulletproof/dp/B0872RLB4V/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=foodville+mf09&qid=1595520925&sr=8-1 I recommend buying from this seller (FoodVille). They are very attentive and customer oriented. I will be leaving a 5 star review for that frother! Update: FoodVille contacted me to let me know they have a new version of this frother that addresses the variable speed issue I've complained about. They are sending me the new frother, and I will post a review on the updated version soon. The new version is FoodVille MF09, so be sure to check it out as it sounds better than the MF05 I have purchased and reviewed here. In addition to fixing the speed issue, they have included a charging dock. I've had this frother for a few months now. Overall, it works as well as my Aerolatte hand-held that died. I like that it is rechargeable, since I went through quite a lot of batteries before. My problem with this is the way you have to cycle through the speeds, rather than just selecting the one you want. This is a problem because sometimes I'll need to stop it before I'm finished and then when I resume it is on the next faster speed, which causes the milk to fly out of the glass before I can get back to the lower setting. I have ruined at least one shirt with stains from the flying milk. Also, because of where the on/off button is, and because of its sensitivity, I sometimes turn it off accidentally, which of course causes the milk to slosh everywhere getting back to the lower setting. I really wish you could just pick a speed, even if that means just a high and a low. I'm thinking of going back to a single speed frother. All but the lowest speed seems to be too strong to froth milk anyway. So, it works, it has good battery life, but cycling through the speeds has been a problem for me. I'll keep using it for now, but may be in the market for something different soon.
