reason

In fact, a big reason why the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow is that flower lovers don’t water it enough. Asparagus fern likes a humid environment, and many flower lovers are afraid of waterlogging and dare not water it, which is actually very bad.

measure

In spring, you can water thoroughly once every 4 to 5 days. In summer, when the temperature rises and evaporation increases, you can water once every 3 to 4 days. Also, cut off all the yellow leaves.

reason

What some flower lovers are worried about is not water accumulation, but that they don’t water the plant enough. If they water the plant once a day, the asparagus fern will definitely accumulate water, rot its roots, and then turn its leaves yellow.

measure

Control your hands and forget about watering the plants every day. You can take a toothpick every day, insert it 2 to 3 cm into the soil, wait for about 10 minutes, then take it out to see if it is dry. If it is dry, water it, otherwise don't water it.

reason

The leaves of asparagus fern are small and easily turn yellow in an environment with relatively low air humidity, especially in areas with low air humidity in the north.

measure

Use a sprayer to spray the asparagus fern every day. Twice a day in the morning and evening in summer. Cut off the leaves that have turned yellow, as they won’t turn green if you keep them.

reason

Asparagus fern is shade-tolerant. Excessive light will cause it to grow poorly, and excessive exposure to the sun will cause it to turn yellow and dry.

measure

Asparagus fern is suitable to be placed in a bright living room, or about 1m away from the south windowsill or south balcony.

reason

Although asparagus fern likes a semi-shaded environment, it does not mean that it likes dark places. If you place asparagus fern in a particularly dark place such as the bathroom, the leaves will definitely turn yellow.

measure

The best place to place asparagus fern is actually the coffee table in the living room or other brightly lit places.

reason

Television, computer, air conditioner... The heat and radiation emitted by these electrical appliances will make asparagus fern uncomfortable, and then its leaves will turn yellow.

measure

Cut off the yellow leaves of asparagus fern and move it to a place away from these electrical appliances. A brightly lit area is best.

Yellow leaves caused by overfertilization

reason

Asparagus fern likes fertilizer, but is not tolerant to it. If you don't control the dosage, it is very easy to burn the roots and then turn the leaves yellow.

measure

1. Fertilize frequently and in small amounts. You can use decomposed rice water, bean cake water, or water used to soak beans.

2. If too much fertilizer has been applied, remove the soil and repot, trim the rotten roots, disinfect and dry them in the shade, then repot them and place them in a cool place to slow the root growth. The newly potted asparagus fern should not be fertilized for at least one month, just water it.

Yellow leaves caused by low temperature

reason

Asparagus fern is not cold-resistant, and the growing temperature cannot be lower than 5℃, otherwise it will definitely be frostbitten.

measure

The temperature cannot be changed, but when the temperature is particularly low, you can put a plastic bag on the asparagus fern and place it in a sunny place indoors, which can also raise the temperature by a few degrees.

reason

Asparagus fern is afraid of smoke and dust. If you place it in a place where there is often dust, oil smoke, etc., or if you often smoke next to it, the leaves of asparagus fern will turn yellow.

measure

First spray water on the leaves of asparagus fern to clean them, and then place them in a well-ventilated place.

What to do if all leaves turn yellow?

1. Determine whether the roots are rotten

Remove the asparagus fern from the pot, rinse the roots with clean water, and check whether there are any rotten roots. If so, cut off all the rotten roots and the rest are old roots. Also cut off dead roots, stumps, etc.

2. Repot

Put the asparagus fern back into the pot and water it thoroughly to help it take root.

3. Pruning

Use scissors to cut off all the branches at the top of the asparagus fern, leaving 3 to 5 cm of branches at the bottom.
