What kind of soil is good for growing asparagus fern

1. Soil selection

When growing asparagus fern, it is better to use loose, breathable and fertile soil. It has certain requirements for soil quality. The soil permeability must be good. Otherwise, if it is too sticky, the roots of the plant will have difficulty breathing in the soil and may very likely rot. Therefore, it must be breathable. The second is good drainage, because this plant likes moisture, but not too wet. If the soil does not drain, water will accumulate in the soil, which is very detrimental to its growth.

2. Soil preparation method

There are actually many ways to prepare the soil, as long as the above requirements are met. When preparing the soil, mix 5 parts of nutrient soil, 3 parts of humus soil and 2 parts of coarse sand. Another method is to mix the base soil, pine needle soil, vermiculite and perlite in a ratio of 5:1:1:1.

3. Notes

1. After selecting the soil for breeding, you must ensure its cleanliness. If you are mixing the soil, you need to disinfect the soil. There are two methods: one is to use chemicals to disinfect, and the other is to expose it to the sun.

2. After growing asparagus fern for 1-2 years, it is best to change the soil once in spring. If the soil is not changed for a long time, the soil in the pot will become very hardened, which will affect the breathing of the plant roots and will not be beneficial to its growth.
