Asparagus fern is a foliage plant that many flower lovers like to grow. It has an elegant and beautiful shape and is very ornamental.

There are many kinds of shapes for asparagus fern, but usually the following three are the most common, tower style, double cluster style, and natural style. These three shapes are the most commonly used and the most beautiful. Let's take a look at them to make the asparagus fern look more beautiful, elegant, and graceful. Let me share with you briefly.

1. Tower

The tower-like modeling method is widely used in bonsai, and it is also very suitable for modeling asparagus fern.

Generally, 3 or 4 plants are used as the main ones, and the tall, straight, upright and beautiful ones are chosen as the main peak. The surrounding areas are pruned into a tower shape, and the growth points are cut off. The shape is constantly adjusted to give the asparagus fern a sense of layering.

2. Double Cluster

Generally, two asparagus ferns of different heights are matched with each other as a foil. They need to be pruned and shaped regularly to maintain a certain proportion so that their ornamental value remains high.

This staggered modeling method is also very beautiful and is loved by many bonsai enthusiasts.

By transforming the natural shape and trimming it into a graceful, flowing, natural shape, you can create your own asparagus fern shape based entirely on your artistic accomplishments and preferences.
