How to deal with the withering leaves of asparagus fern

1. Caused by light

1. Reasons

It prefers a cooler environment. If it is exposed to the sun for a long time in summer, its leaves will begin to turn yellow and wither.

2. Solution

When you find that the leaves of asparagus fern begin to wither, you need to move it to a cool place in time and sprinkle water on the leaves appropriately to lower the temperature. As long as the damage to the leaves is not particularly severe, they will soon return to their green appearance.

2. Watering causes

1. Reasons

Asparagus fern likes places with plenty of water, but is afraid of water accumulation in the pot, otherwise it will easily cause the roots to rot and then cause the leaves to wither. However, the water cannot be too little, otherwise the leaves will easily wither.

2. Solution

If you find that the roots of asparagus fern have begun to rot, you need to reduce watering and loosen the soil in the pot in time, and then gradually increase the water. At the same time, you should also spray some water on the leaves appropriately to keep the leaves fresh.

3. Nutrition causes

1. Reasons

Although asparagus fern does not require much fertilizer, it prefers fertile soil. If it is not loosened and fertilized for a long time when it is kept at home, it will lack nutrients and its leaves will wither.

2. Solution

When it is found that the problem is caused by insufficient nutrients, it is necessary to fertilize the potting soil in time. After that, it is necessary to add fertilizer once every week, mainly with thin liquid fertilizer, and water and loosen the soil in time.

4. Fertilization causes

1. Reasons

When applying fertilizer, if you use too concentrated or unrotted fertilizer, it will easily cause fertilizer damage, causing the leaves to dry up and fall off.

2. Solution

When you find that the problem is caused by fertilizer, you need to remove the old fertilizer in the pot, then rinse the soil with water and replace it with new soil to make the leaves green again.

5. Caused by improper management in winter

1. Reasons

Asparagus fern is very afraid of cold. In winter, if it is not given proper light and ventilation, its leaves will wither and fall off.

2. Solution

Increase the light appropriately, place it in a sunny position, ventilate it in time, and reduce watering, and its leaves will soon return to their previous state.

6. Caused by pests and diseases

1. Reasons

When growing asparagus fern, it is easy to be infected by scale insects or other pests. At this time, the insects will absorb nutrients from the leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and wither.
