What to do if you water asparagus fern too much

1. Method

If you water asparagus fern too much, you can use the following five methods to make the water evaporate quickly and prevent root rot.

1. Raise the flower pot and place it in a ventilated place to allow excess moisture to evaporate as quickly as possible.

2. Use a shovel to loosen the soil to increase its porosity so that the water has enough space to evaporate.

3. Reduce the amount of watering, for example, change from watering once every 3-4 days to watering once a week.

4. Water less and spray more. Spraying water on the leaves can also keep the plants absorbing water, while reducing the burden on the roots and avoiding water accumulation in the pot.

5. Increase lighting. Sunlight can increase the rate of photosynthesis, increase the surrounding temperature, and promote the evaporation of water.

2. Consequences

If you water too much, the drainage in the pot will be poor, which will hinder the respiration of the root system and cause "oxygen deficiency" in the asparagus fern, which will cause yellow leaves.

3. Watering Tips

1. In winter, spring and autumn, watering should be properly controlled. Feel the dryness and wetness of the soil by touching it, and water when it is dry. If you find it difficult to control the amount of water, you can also adopt the method of alternating large and small watering, that is, after watering 3-5 times of small amount of water, water it thoroughly once, and repeat this process to keep the soil in the pot moist but without water inside.

2. The temperature is high in summer, water evaporates quickly, and the plant photosynthesizes quickly, so watering should be done in the morning and evening. In addition to normal watering in summer, you can also spray water on the leaves of the plants or sprinkle water on the ground to increase the air humidity.
