Should I cut off the asparagus fern when it grows vines?

1. Do you need to cut it off?

It is normal for asparagus fern to grow long vines when it grows for more than three years. After it grows out, it needs to be cut off for a beautiful shape, so that the whole plant does not become messy and have no shape. But you can also choose not to cut it off and install a supporting frame for it, so that it can climb along its growth path, so whether or not to cut it off depends on your own wishes.

2. Pruning methods

1. Pick off the growth point: When the new buds grow to 2 to 3 cm, you can pick off the growth point. This can promote the growth of branches and control it from growing vines.

2. Shortening: When the branches grow too long and have destroyed the shape, they can be adjusted by shortening.

3. Other maintenance

1. Light: It likes semi-shade, and places with scattered light are suitable for its growth. In spring, summer and autumn, appropriate shielding is needed, but in winter, if the sunlight is not very strong, direct exposure is allowed.

2. Watering: Apply water reasonably, but not too much so that water accumulates in the pot. When winter comes, you can reduce the amount of watering to prevent the roots from freezing.
