How to grow asparagus fern

1. Loosen the soil

To care for asparagus fern, you need to provide loose, breathable sandy soil to ensure good drainage and air permeability to meet the growth needs of the roots. When preparing the soil for asparagus fern, you can mix leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 2:2:1, and then add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to meet the nutrient needs. In order to meet the growth needs of asparagus fern, you can change the potting soil every 1-2 years to ensure that the roots have a good growth environment.

2. Adequate astigmatism

During its growth period, asparagus fern should be kept in sufficient diffuse light to ensure bright light exposure. The growth environment should not be too shaded, nor should it be exposed to the scorching sun.

3. Water Management

Asparagus fern is a moisture-loving plant. Water it in time and water it thoroughly after the soil is dry to maintain good soil moisture. This can maintain the moisture needed for growth, promote root growth, and make branches and leaves lush. Note that you should water asparagus fern in moderation to avoid excessive water accumulation and prevent root rot. In addition to watering the roots of asparagus fern, you also need to spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas to avoid dry air that causes the leaves to turn yellow.

4. Fertilizer management

Asparagus fern is a foliage plant and has a high demand for nitrogen fertilizer. It can be applied once every two weeks, with thin applications applied frequently. In winter, the temperature is low and the growth is slow, so you need to stop fertilizing to avoid damaging the roots.

5. Proper pruning

Asparagus fern is an ornamental plant and its branches and leaves need to be properly pruned to maintain its beauty.
