Effects and requirements of soil replacement for asparagus fern

When changing the soil and pots during the planting process of asparagus fern, because the plant has been cultivated for 1 to 3 years, the stems are relatively large, the nutrient source of the potting soil is exhausted, and the original pot is no longer suitable for the growth and development of the plant, it is necessary to plant it in separate pots so that it will not appear too crowded.

Asparagus fern is not cold-resistant, and will fall leaves when the temperature is below 5℃. When changing the soil and pot of asparagus fern, the room humidity should be kept above 5℃, and a certain amount of light should also be guaranteed.
