🌱 SPECIAL FOCUS: RHIZOME HEALTH

Aspidistra is different from many houseplants because its survival and new growth depend heavily on its underground rhizomes.

The guide explains how to recognize:

healthy rhizomes;
damaged rhizomes;
rhizome rot;
viable sections that can still be saved.

Even a plant with severely damaged foliage may still recover when the underground structure remains healthy.
