3. How to maintain and grow well

1. Temperature: Asparagus fern likes warmth. If you want it to grow better, it is best to adjust the temperature between 15-25℃. When the temperature is too high, we need to cool down and dissipate heat, and when the temperature is too low, we need to take measures to keep warm.

2. Light: During maintenance, find a semi-shaded environment. Except in winter, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight in other seasons. When the sunlight is weak, you can put it outdoors to get some sun.

3. Water: When watering asparagus fern, you should wait until the soil in the pot is dry. Do not make the soil too moist. When the air is very dry, you should also spray water on the branches and trunks of the plant to prevent the tips from drying out due to lack of water.
