Asparagus aethiopicus aka Sprenger's Asparagus Fern

Sprenger's Asparagus Fern presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Sprenger's Asparagus Fern’s native range is Europe and Western Asia.

Sprenger's Asparagus Fern should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Sprenger's Asparagus Fern loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

No additional humidity is required for the Sprenger's Asparagus Fern. Plants take in most of their water through their roots, not their leaves, therefore, watering the soil is the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants.

Repotting the Sprenger's Asparagus Fern is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.
