It is used to living with lower light and does not need bright sunshine to look good, which is one of the reasons it works so well in homes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike climbing or trailing houseplants, the Cast Iron Plant grows slowly from underground rhizomes. New leaves emerge one at a time from the base of the plant, gradually creating a fuller clump of long, elegant foliage. It is a slow grower, but that is part of its appeal. Once you have found a place for it, you can trust that it will stay a sensible size and quietly get on with things.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name Cast Iron Plant is well deserved.
