If you want a truly indestructible houseplant, there are few that will survive quite such a high level of neglect as an aspidistra. It will tolerate more shade than pretty much any other, not to mention months of drought, the coldest of drafts and almost any pest going.

Do Aspidistras need sunlight?

When it comes to the light requirements for an Aspidistra it's very easy to get right. 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).

Can you put Aspidistras outside?

When kept outdoors, the Aspidistra plants thrive in a good quality garden soil. It's best to plant them in a soil with decayed manure. It's also good to add up to 1/3 part peat or humus to the soil.
