How to grow asparagus fern in summer

1. Lighting

The leaves of asparagus fern are very fragile. If you leave it under direct sunlight in the summer, the leaves will turn yellow and dry, and even start to fall off. It is very likely that they will never recover to their previous state. But it cannot be too little sunlight, so you can place it under the shade of a tree with diffuse light, which can prevent it from being directly exposed to the sun and ensure sufficient light. You can also place it in a well-lit place in the living room.

2. Watering

The temperature is extremely high in summer and the amount of water evaporation is also large, so you need to water the soil in the pot every day. In addition, you must always keep the leaves moist to increase the air humidity. This is why it is necessary to keep it under the shade of a tree. In addition, it is best to spray water on the leaves 2 to 3 times a day.

3. Ventilation and pruning

The weather is hot and humid in summer, so good ventilation is extremely important. Some people may keep it in the yard, thinking that ventilation will be good, but it is easy to be infected by diseases and insects, so it is best to keep it indoors. Just open the windows frequently for ventilation, so that a good ventilation environment can be ensured. In addition, if you find that the branches of asparagus fern are growing too densely, you need to prune them appropriately, and reduce the amount of watering after pruning.

4. Fertilization

Asparagus fern does not require a lot of fertilizer, but during its growing season in summer, in order to ensure adequate nutrition, it needs to be fertilizerd 1 to 2 times every month, mainly with thin liquid fertilizer, and do not apply concentrated fertilizer, otherwise fertilizer damage will occur and the leaves will start to turn yellow. At the same time, when the plant has taken shape, the amount of fertilizer should be reduced to maintain its beauty.
