How to save asparagus fern from yellowing leaves?

When caring for asparagus fern , a tricky problem that friends often encounter is that the leaves of asparagus fern suddenly turn yellow and this yellowing seems to spread rapidly to the entire plant. How to save asparagus fern from yellowing leaves?

1. Reasonable watering

Many friends are very careful when taking care of asparagus fern, and will water it immediately if they find the soil in the pot is slightly dry. However, this frequent watering habit may cause the potting soil to be too wet for a long time, which may cause the leaves of asparagus fern to turn yellow. Especially in winter, it is generally recommended to water once every 20 days to avoid root rot due to excessive water.

2. Suitable temperature

The yellowing of asparagus fern leaves in winter may be related to low temperatures. The suitable wintering temperature for asparagus fern is 5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature continues to be below 4 degrees Celsius, the leaves will easily turn yellow. Therefore, measures should be taken to keep asparagus fern warm in winter.

3. Timely pruning

Once the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow, they cannot recover and need to be pruned decisively, even if it means cutting off half of the leaves.

4. Water moderately

Considering that the yellowing of asparagus fern leaves may be related to excessive watering, the watering frequency should be adjusted appropriately after pruning. If the indoor temperature is high, wait until the soil in the pot is dry before increasing watering appropriately. When the indoor temperature is low in winter, you can use a watering can to spray water once in the morning and once in the evening to keep the leaves green.
