Care
General Maintenance: Repot every other year as needed, ideally in the springtime. As rhizomatous plants, cast-iron plants can tolerate less frequent repotting, even going as long as four to five years without potting. Look for when the plant has outgrown the pot, and its roots are growing over the edge. If the plant does not require any repotting, it can be beneficial to remove the top layer of soil and replace it with new soil for nutrients. Propagate by division.Temperature: Not too particular to temperature. Try to avoid temperatures below 7°C and above 29°C.
