Asparagus officinalis aka Garden Asparagus

Caring for Garden Asparagus is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Garden Asparagus should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Garden Asparagus 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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Garden Asparagus prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Garden Asparagus is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Garden Asparagus does not need extra humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their root system, making soil watering the best way to provide humidity to your plants.

The Garden Asparagus should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Garden Asparagus as it grows vertically.

Garden Asparagus’s native range is Europe and Western Asia.
