How to take care of newly bought asparagus fern

1. How to deal with newly bought asparagus fern

When buying asparagus fern, it is best to check the growth status of the plant first. If the plant you buy comes with pots and soil and is in good condition, you don't have to change the pot or soil in a hurry. Once it has adapted to the environment at home, you can change to your favorite pot. If you buy one with a pot, first check whether the roots and branches are dry or diseased, and trim any bad leaves before planting.

2. How to cultivate the newly bought asparagus fern

1. Soil: You don’t need to change the soil of the newly bought asparagus fern in a pot, but you can change to a pot you like if you want. It is not recommended to replace all the soil in the pot. You can directly put the asparagus fern with soil into the new pot, and fill the other empty spaces with loose and breathable soil. If the soil is too hard, you need to replace it immediately when you bring it home. Use breathable and fertile nutrient soil. It is best to use a clay pot or a purple clay pot with good air permeability.

2. Environment: When you first buy it, asparagus fern needs some time to adapt to the new environment. Don't give it too much sunlight or extreme temperatures. It's best to place it in a warmer, sunny or other soft light place. After waiting for a while, it will start to grow slowly and you can resume normal breeding.

3. Watering: After moving to a new environment, asparagus fern grows slowly and does not require much water. Just water it once every five days or so, and don't let the soil get too dry. However, you cannot water too much at one time. Control the amount of water to prevent waterlogging.

4. Fertilization: No fertilizer is needed when you just buy it. When you change the pot, you can use some well-rotted thin fertilizer. Be careful not to apply too much fertilizer, as it may burn its roots. After waiting for a while and it starts to grow and develop, you can apply fertilizer normally.
