Where Can I Find A Cast Iron Plant?
Question: Where can I find a Cast Iron plant? - Judith & Earl
Judy's Answer:
Dear Judith & Earl,

I am guessing that you are interested in a cast iron plant because your room has very little light. The truth is that this somewhat expensive & hard to find plant does not look very attractive when you buy it & looks even worse after a few months. I would recommend an aglonema, a dracaena janet craig bush, or a Z-plant for a really dark area. Sansiviera, bamboo palms, and philodendron are other good choices. - Judy
