How to solve the problem of yellow leaves of asparagus fern in winter

Sunbathing

Asparagus fern is a semi-shade plant. Many flower lovers think that asparagus fern is not suitable for sunlight, so they keep it in a shaded place for a long time. This is actually a big mistake!

Asparagus fern is afraid of strong sunlight and needs appropriate shade in the summer, but the sunlight is not strong in winter. If asparagus fern is deprived of sunlight for a long time, the plant will become weak and slowly turn yellow.

Therefore, it is best to place asparagus fern on a sunny windowsill in winter to let it bathe in the warm sunshine.

Sprinkle more water, water less

Asparagus fern likes moisture but is afraid of waterlogging. Before watering, you should knock on the asparagus fern pot. If there is a crisp sound and the soil on the surface of the pot feels dry, you need to water the asparagus fern. If the sound is dull and the soil feels moist to the touch, do not water the asparagus fern.

If the surrounding air is too dry, the tips of asparagus fern leaves will become dry and yellow, so asparagus fern should be kept away from air conditioning and heating, and water should be sprinkled on and around the leaves every day to maintain the air humidity.

Apply thin fertilizer frequently

The roots of asparagus fern are fragile, and applying uncomposted fertilizer or overly concentrated fertilizer can easily "burn the roots", causing the leaves to dry and turn yellow and fall off.

If no fertilizer is applied for a long time and the soil is poor, the leaves of asparagus fern will turn yellow. Therefore, asparagus fern should be fertilized with thin amounts of fertilizer frequently, and the decomposed organic liquid fertilizer should be diluted in a ratio of 2:1000 before use.

Stay away from radiation

Not only humans need to stay away from radiation, but asparagus fern also needs to stay away from radiation. Placing asparagus fern next to the TV or computer will cause its leaves and stems to dry and turn yellow.

Generally speaking, if you keep asparagus fern more than 5 meters away from the radiation source, the impact will be much less.

Proper temperature increase

Asparagus fern grows best in room temperature above 10℃. If the temperature is lower than 5℃, the leaves will dry up and fall off.

Flower lovers can check the temperature at home. If the temperature is below 5℃, they should bag the flowers in time to keep them warm. If the temperature is between 5℃ and 10℃, asparagus fern basically stops growing. You should reduce watering, do not apply fertilizer, and ensure sufficient sunlight.

If the temperature is above 10℃, normal maintenance can be carried out.

Beware of pests and diseases

When asparagus fern is infected with pests such as scale insects, its branches and leaves will easily turn yellow. Flower lovers should observe whether there are insect pests in the asparagus bamboo at home. If so, you can dilute the Aphidicide at a ratio of 1:2000 and spray it on the branches and leaves of the asparagus bamboo.

Rescue and maintenance after yellowing

Generally speaking, it is difficult for asparagus fern leaves to turn green again after they turn yellow. Sickly and weak branches and leaves will consume the nutrients of the entire plant. In this case, you should sacrifice the pawns to save the chariot and cut off the yellow branches and leaves to ensure that the new branches and leaves can grow healthily.

Flower lovers, you probably already understand why the asparagus fern in your home turns yellow.

Cut off the yellow leaves quickly and take good care of them.

I believe it won't take long.

Flower lovers’ asparagus ferns will grow lush and green!
