An asparagus fern grown into a waterfall makes your home's air fresher!
Whenever asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) comes up, quite a few flower lovers start scratching their heads, since yellowing leaves really are such a frustrating problem! But plenty of flower lovers have simply grown their asparagus fern into a curtain. Isn't that incredible?
How do you grow an asparagus fern waterfall?
1. Add a little compound fertilizer and the asparagus fern will climb like crazy!
If you want your asparagus fern to turn into a waterfall as quickly as possible, regular fertilizing is essential. Dig 3-5 holes around the edge of the pot, bury 2-4 granules of compound fertilizer in each little hole, then cover with soil. Do this about once a month to supplement nutrients for the asparagus fern, so it grows more vigorously!
2. Spray more water to keep the air more humid!
Asparagus fern likes humidity, and once the air gets dry, its leaves start turning yellow. Normally, water once the potting soil feels dry and pale, and on nice days around noon you can keep misting the leaves. If the asparagus fern has already grown into a curtain and is hard to mist, place a basin of water or a humidifier next to it.
3. Give the asparagus fern a trellis and it turns into a waterfall in no time!
To make your asparagus fern turn into a waterfall as quickly as possible, you must let it climb up high. Place the pot next to a trellis or bamboo pole, and let the vines keep climbing upward along it. It will soon become a curtain!
A Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) grown into a waterfall, blooming 200 flowers!
It is currently the blooming season for Christmas cactus, but quite a few flower lovers are worried, because their Christmas cactus at home, forget growing into a waterfall, has trouble even blooming!
How do you grow a Christmas cactus waterfall?
1. Add a little monopotassium phosphate and the Christmas cactus will bloom more and more!
If your Christmas cactus is in the bud stage, spray a 0.2% monopotassium phosphate solution about once every 7-10 days. Remember to spray both the front and back of the leaves, or just mix it into water and use it to drench the roots. After it blooms, add fish intestine fertilizer or banana peel fertilizer every 10-15 days to prevent bud drop and make the flowers bloom more vividly!
2. Graft onto cactus, support with thin bamboo strips!
To grow a Christmas cactus into a waterfall, grafting is generally the method used. The rootstock for grafting is often a cold-hardy variety of cactus. After grafting, use thin bamboo strips or galvanized wire to make a circular support to hold up the drooping stem segments, so the segments spread out in all directions and form an umbrella shape, making it easier for the Christmas cactus to form a waterfall.
3. Prune stem segments and flower buds to make the Christmas cactus blooms bigger and bigger!
For an umbrella-shaped Christmas cactus, promptly cut off the uneven stem segments and diseased or pest-damaged branches, and also remove the overly dense and weak flower buds on the stem segments, keeping only one robust bud at the end of each segment. This saves nutrients, makes the buds grow larger, and results in more uniform blooming with more vivid colors!
A golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) grown into a waterfall, wrapping around the wall 3 and a half times!
Out of 10 flower-growing enthusiasts' homes, 9 are sure to have a golden pothos, which shows just how popular it is. And growing a golden pothos into a waterfall is not hard at all. Just follow Huahua's lead and you will have one in no time!
How do you grow a golden pothos waterfall?

To grow a golden pothos into a waterfall as quickly as possible, fertilizing is essential, and the most common thing at home, rice water, is a great flower fertilizer. Seal the rice water and leave it in the sun to ferment. It will be fully decomposed in about 2-3 weeks. Then dilute with water at a 1:10 ratio and use it directly to water the golden pothos.
2. Place it somewhere higher indoors
To grow a golden pothos into a waterfall as quickly as possible, you can place it somewhere higher, such as on top of the refrigerator, or hang it up high, letting the vines grow downward toward the ground. It will soon become a waterfall. You can also tie a wire and let the golden pothos climb upward along it, and it will also quickly become a waterfall!
3. Throw hydroponic golden pothos directly into a fish tank and it will grow like crazy with no stopping!
If you want to grow hydroponic golden pothos into a waterfall, you can just throw it directly into a fish tank. The water in a fish tank contains plenty of fish waste and fish food, and is super rich in nitrogen. Throw the golden pothos in, and as it absorbs more and more nitrogen fertilizer, its growth will become more and more vigorous!
A spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) grown into a waterfall, with leaves 3 fingers wide!
Spider plants grown by ordinary flower lovers usually have thin, long leaves, but quite a few flower lovers have not only grown their spider plants into a waterfall, but also made the leaves wider and wider. It is simply awe-inspiring!
How do you grow a spider plant waterfall?
1. Add a little fruit peel water and the spider plant grows like crazy, as if on a stimulant!
To make a spider plant grow vigorously, fertilizing is essential. Put leftover fruit peels, rotten vegetable leaves and the like from home into a large wooden barrel, seal it, and let it ferment. It will be ready in about 1 month. Then dilute with water at a 1:200 ratio and use it directly to water the spider plant.
2. Place it by the windowsill and rotate the pot once every 10 days!
To grow a spider plant into a waterfall as quickly as possible, place it somewhere a bit higher by the windowsill, so the spider plant can get plenty of sunlight in winter. At the same time, about every 10 days, rotate the pot 15°, so the leaves grow more evenly!
3. Stuff a few eggshells into the pot and the leaves become firmer and firmer!
Wash eggshells clean, crush them and stir-fry them until they turn golden yellow. Then dig 2-4 small holes around the edge of the spider plant's pot and bury the eggshells in. As the spider plant absorbs the calcium in the eggshells, its leaves become firmer and firmer, and the waterfall shape becomes more and more obvious!
An anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) grown into a waterfall, bright red like a lantern!
This is the first time Huahua learned that anthuriums can also be grown into a waterfall. Hung up, it looks like a big red lantern. Hang one at home during Chinese New Year and it is so festive and prosperous!
How do you grow an anthurium waterfall?
1. Pay attention to keeping it warm and humid, and the anthurium will grow vigorously!
Anthuriums are rather afraid of the cold, and in winter the temperature must not fall below 10°C. If your home is quite cold, then you can only get it a plastic bag to keep the temperature up. Just be sure not to forget to poke a hole in the plastic bag!
2. Water the anthurium with compound fertilizer and it grows more vigorously the more you use!
Anthuriums are rather sensitive to water containing salt. If you normally water anthuriums with tap water, be sure to let it sit in the sun for 1-2 days before use, so the chlorine in the water evaporates. At the same time, mix compound fertilizer into the water and use it together, about once every 5-7 days.
3. Give it scattered light and the leaves grow bigger and bigger!
Anthuriums like a scattered-light environment, so they can be placed somewhere indoors with bright light. In winter, they can be placed on a south-facing balcony to get a spell of direct sun, which makes the anthurium's leaves greener and greener and bigger and bigger!
A string of pearls (Curio rowleyanus) grown into a waterfall, even more beautiful in strands!
String of pearls grows very quickly. Just break off a piece and toss it into soil, and it will soon grow into a big pot. It is also very easy to care for, and it quickly becomes a waterfall!
How do you grow a string of pearls waterfall?
1. Pay attention to keeping it warm in winter, and it will grow more and more vigorously!
String of pearls is rather afraid of the cold. In winter, keep the indoor temperature at least above 5°C, otherwise it will go dormant and stop growing. If it is placed in a heated or air-conditioned room, be sure to keep it away from air conditioning vents or radiators.
2. Apply less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer!
With string of pearls, it is best not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, because too much nitrogen fertilizer causes the leaves to absorb too much water, making them very fragile and easy to break. Just apply a little 0.2% monopotassium phosphate solution every month and it will look lovely.
