Precautions for transplanting asparagus fern How to plant it with high survival rate

The best time to transplant asparagus fern is in early spring, specifically between March and May. If it is in the warm southern regions, it can be transplanted earlier. However, in the northern regions, transplanting should wait until the temperature is relatively stable in April and May. At this time, the transplanted asparagus fern can quickly adapt to the new environment and resume its growth.

Key points for transplanting asparagus fern

1. Remove from the basin

When transplanting asparagus fern, first take it out of the original pot, tap the outer wall of the pot lightly to leave a certain gap between the pot wall and the soil, then hold the asparagus fern with one hand and remove the pot with the other hand. Be careful not to damage the plant and roots during the removal process.

2. Remove the pot and prune

Prune the root system of asparagus fern and cut off the dead and bad roots. This will ensure the balanced growth of the crown branches and buds. This will help it fully absorb nutrients after transplanting and greatly improve the survival rate of asparagus fern.

Asparagus fern transplanting management

After transplanting asparagus fern, do not water it immediately. It is best to wait half a day before watering. Be sure to water it thoroughly. If the roots are injured, try to water them after 1-2 days to avoid infection. Place the transplanted asparagus fern in a cool place to avoid direct sunlight. When the soil becomes dry, you can water it for the second time.
