Asparagus setaceus aka Asparagus Fern

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

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

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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Asparagus Fern prefers bright diffused 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.

During the wintertime, it's common for Asparagus Fern to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

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

The Asparagus Fern does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

Once the Asparagus Fern has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

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