When watering asparagus fern, should I use tap water or purified water? Should I water the leaves or the roots?

1. Watering with tap water or purified water

You can use tap water or purified water to water asparagus fern. However, if you want to water it with tap water, you need to first put it in a container and let it settle for about two or three days before watering it with asparagus fern. When watering, you can also use stored rainwater, boiled water or sugar water.

2. Should I water the leaves or the roots?

Asparagus fern needs water support during its growth period. The missing water in the soil must be replenished in time, and watering needs to be done in the potting soil. When watering, do not water along the roots, because the water will wash away the soil around the roots. You should water along the edge of the flowerpot, slowly pouring the water into the soil. In addition, you can also spray water on the leaves when the climate is dry. Just use a small spray bottle to spray evenly to prevent the leaves from drying out.

3. Other matters needing attention

1. Pay attention to the water temperature when watering. Do not use hot water or cold water. The water temperature should be close to the air temperature. Normal temperature water is suitable for plant growth.

2. There is no fixed frequency for watering asparagus fern. The watering frequency should be adjusted in time according to different climates. You can water frequently when the water evaporates quickly, but do not water when the water cannot evaporate. The correct way to water is not to water unless the soil is dry, and when you do water, make sure to water thoroughly.

3. If you accidentally water too much, you need to drain the accumulated water as soon as possible and pay attention to the ventilation of the maintenance environment to prevent the roots of the plant from rotting.
