Can the yellowing branches of asparagus fern be saved?

1. Appropriately reduce or increase the amount of water

1. Reasons

Although asparagus fern prefers a relatively humid place, if it is watered too much for a long time, water will accumulate at the roots and cause root rot. The roots will not be able to receive nutrients and the leaves will begin to turn yellow. At the same time, if you don't water the plant for a long time and the air becomes extremely dry, the leaves will turn yellow.

2. Solution

If it is caused by excessive watering, you need to stop watering and give it a period of time for the seedlings to grow slowly. If the watering is too little, you can give it a small amount of water first, and then water it normally after a period of time. Usually it needs to be watered once every 2 to 3 days in spring and autumn, once in the morning and evening in summer, and once a week in winter.

2. Reduce light

1. Reasons

Asparagus fern is very afraid of the sun. If it is exposed to strong sunlight in summer, its branches will begin to turn yellow.

2. Solution

Move it to a secluded place for maintenance in time, and after a period of time, place it in a place with scattered light. Especially in summer, pay more attention to shading it.

3. Increase the temperature

1. Reasons

In winter, if the temperature is below 5 degrees, its branches will begin to turn yellow.

2. Solution

In winter, be sure to keep it warm in time. If it has been frostbitten, you need to slowly move it to a warm place. Never put it there directly.

4. Correct fertilization

1. Reasons

If the fertilization method is inappropriate, for example, not fertilizing it for a long time and not changing the soil, the leaves will turn yellow due to lack of nutrition. But you can't go without fertilizing for a long time, otherwise its branches will turn yellow.

2. Solution

If it is caused by too little fertilization, you need to apply some fertilizer to it in time, mainly nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. If it is caused by too much fertilization, you need to dilute the excess fertilizer with water. If that doesn't work, you need to pull out the roots, clean them and then replant them.
