An old flower farmer uses pigeon droppings to grow asparagus fern, which grows to 1 m tall in half a year, stays emerald green and blooms nonstop

Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) is evergreen all year round, with glossy green leaves, a very layered look and an elegant, delicate posture; it is an ideal potted plant for Chinese-style homes. To care for asparagus fern well, you need good methods. Look at this old flower farmer: the asparagus fern he grew with pigeon droppings grew to 1 m tall in half a year, and its leaves are emerald green with nonstop blooming!

First, let me introduce pigeon droppings

In fact, animal manure, once rotted down, is very fertile when used as flower fertilizer, but among all poultry and livestock manure, pigeon droppings are the most nutrient-rich, because grain stays in a pigeon's body for only a short time, so the pigeon absorbs just 30% of it; therefore the droppings it passes are transformed from a large amount of mixed grains. We all know that fermented grain is an excellent fertilizer, and pigeon droppings are the same!

To use pigeon droppings for growing asparagus fern, the droppings must be fully fermented; otherwise, if this manure is buried directly into the soil, the fermentation process will release a large amount of heat, easily burning the roots and causing root rot. So remember that pigeon droppings must always be fermented, and whether it is pigeon droppings or the droppings of other poultry, never add too much when using it, as it easily causes fertilizer burn.

When this old flower farmer potted up the asparagus fern, he mixed some pigeon droppings into the soil. The soil mix he made was leaf mold + vegetable garden soil + river sand, plus a small amount of pigeon droppings. After that, the asparagus fern grew like it was on a stimulant, and it also bloomed nonstop.

The reason the asparagus fern grew so well is greatly related to the soil, so if you want to care for potted plants well, the soil must be fertile.

That is all for today's sharing!
