| I've had this aspidistra for quite a few years now, but this is the best it has ever grown. Now, I am wondering if it sprouts flowers.
Found this on Wiki: Aspidistra elatior is well-known in cultivation and has a reputation for withstanding neglect, giving rise to its common name of Cast-iron Plant. It is native to the southern islands of Japan. It is tolerant of low light, low humidity, temperature fluctuation and irregular watering. It is best situated in a position away from direct sun to avoid leaf bleaching. Good drainage is also required for optimal growth and to avoid root rot. The species is not seriously troubled by insects, however mites and scale may cause occasional problems. Its leaves and roots may be subject to browsing by hoofed mammals such as deer, as well as rodents and rabbits. Wike also had an image of an Aspidistra flower which I include.

What a green thumb you have. Nice!
I don't think they have flowers. I have one running amok in my garden. Rain rain rain
Golly, have included some info about the Aspidistra which I found on Wiki, including an image of their flower. What a useful indoors plant to have! Have to check my puddy-tats to see if they have cloven hoofs!?!
('ve never heard or this plant. As usual thriving for you. I have fake plants in my parlor, the only sort that will survive.
You have never heard of an astpidistra? The Victoriana parlor relic ... there is an old music hall song about an aspidistra in the parlor ...
I always get aspidistras and monstera deliciosa mixed up.
I also mix up lemons and onions.
Pink and yellow.
Vacuuming and mowing and ironing.
And penguins and pelicans.
