LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Providing it isn't direct sunlight it can pretty much deal with any light it's given.
• While difficult to kill generally, it won't survive sunshine (bright light is fine).

WATER REQUIREMENT

• The Aspidistra's cast iron nature means it will deal with sporadic occasional watering easily and can work around dry soil.
• This houseplant is not a cactus though, so to really thrive it does need a reasonable amount of water during the growing season, although you'll need to let it dry out between waterings.
