When to divide Asparagus cochinchinensis into pots

Asparagus grows rapidly and needs to be repotted once every one or two years. Generally, it is done in spring every year. This is the time when the plant grows the fastest, which is conducive to the plant's survival as soon as possible.

The correct way to divide Asparagus cochinchinensis into pots

Stop watering the asparagus before dividing it into pots, then carefully take out the asparagus, trim off the rotten roots and old roots, prepare suitable potting soil. The soil can be prepared by mixing leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand. Straighten the asparagus and plant it in the soil. Water it thoroughly after planting and keep it in a place with good light.

Propagation of Asparagus cochinchinensis by division

Select a large and strong Asparagus as the mother plant, and cut off the stronger plants. Each cluster must have two to five buds and more than three small root tubers. The smaller the incision, the better. To prevent infection, you can apply lime on the incision. After drying the divided plants with lime for one day, they can be planted.

Precautions for transplanting Asparagus into different pots

1. When dividing Asparagus into pots, you should choose fertile sandy soil with good air permeability and strong drainage. It is recommended to add an appropriate amount of vermiculite, coarse sand, coal slag and perlite to the soil to increase its air permeability and drainage.

2. If the asparagus wilts after being divided into pots, it may be because the breeding environment is not suitable. It should be transferred to a semi-shaded environment of about 20℃ for maintenance in time. It may also be due to excessive watering. Watering should be stopped and it should be moved to a well-ventilated place to dry its pot soil and wait for it to recover.
