Maintenance of asparagus fern after shaving

After shaving the asparagus fern, it enters the most critical stage of maintenance. After shaving the asparagus fern, it should be placed under relatively weak diffuse light for maintenance, and should not be exposed to direct light. It is generally better to choose a north balcony or a north-facing window.

After shaving, watering should be reduced appropriately. It is fine to keep the soil dry or slightly moist. However, be careful not to have water accumulation in the pot. Water accumulation will cause the roots of asparagus fern to rot, which is very harmful.

If the asparagus fern can grow again after shaving, the right temperature is also indispensable. During maintenance, the surrounding temperature must be kept at a high level, preferably around 20℃, so that the asparagus fern can grow quickly. However, if the maintenance temperature is only a dozen degrees or even lower, the growth of asparagus fern will be inhibited. In addition, attention should be paid to maintaining ventilation.
