How to grow asparagus fern to make it more vigorous (what fertilizer to use, how to prune)

1. Suitable lighting

It likes a semi-shady environment and should be placed in diffuse light during maintenance. The plant will grow more vigorously if the light is suitable. Be careful to avoid strong light in summer, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and affect growth. At this time, it is best to spray water frequently to increase the humidity. If it is placed in a cool, dark place for a long time, it will not be conducive to its growth. The branches will become thin and lose vitality.

2. Scientific watering

It is afraid of drought, but also does not like an overly humid environment. Therefore, you should pay attention to the watering method. It is best to water when the soil is completely dry in spring and autumn, and do not let the soil be too moist. In winter, you need to control watering, as long as the soil surface is slightly moist. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so you need to increase the amount of water.

3. Supplement fertilizer

If you want it to grow more vigorously, you need to apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer to make the nutrients more sufficient. The main fertilizer used is nitrogen fertilizer, which is applied in spring and autumn, about once every ten days. In addition, it is also necessary to mix in decomposed liquid fertilizer once a month. When the plants grow up in the later stage, you need to control water to prevent them from growing too tall.

4. Timely pruning

During maintenance, pruning is also required, usually in spring. Cutting back branches that are growing too long can save nutrients and make the plant grow more vigorously. In addition, the plant shape will be more beautiful and its ornamental value will be enhanced. If you find yellowing branches and leaves, you can trim them off to help the plant recover faster.
