Asparagus fern at death's door, after a simple pruning it instantly bursts into a full pot, and its long vines shoot straight to the ceiling, unstoppable

(Summary) Dear flower lovers, the most headache-inducing thing about growing asparagus fern is shaping it. To make it look beautiful, we need to prune its branches in time so it grows into the form we want, and once it has grown into shape, we must promptly suppress its growth to keep it healthy and beautiful.

1. Pruning the branches

If you want the asparagus fern to send out more new shoots, you need to cut off the long newly grown branches and the old branches. When pruning old branches, the excess parts can be cut off from the base to keep it looking good, and at the same time you need to be even more careful when pruning dwarf asparagus fern!

2. Suppressing growth

If you think the shape of the asparagus fern already looks good, or you are unwilling to prune it, you can buy some paclobutrazol, grind it into powder, and sprinkle it around the roots at the edge of the pot soil. This way, the asparagus fern will grow more slowly, and you will not have to take the trouble to prune the branches every time!

3. Controlling branch growth

If you want the asparagus fern to maintain the best tree shape, flower lovers have to get to work pruning it, and must not be too soft-hearted to do it. If you let the asparagus fern grow freely, in the end the tree shape will be rather ugly, and the long vines it grows will have barbs, so you must trim the branches in time.

4. Suppressing the growth of buds

Each time the asparagus fern grows new buds, judge whether the small buds need to be cut off. If they are too thick, you must cut them off without mercy. This will make the newly grown buds grow more slowly, and they will be small, delicate and good-looking.

5. Keeping it healthy

Whenever the asparagus fern grows yellow branches, we have work to do. First, cut off its yellow branches from the base. Such yellow branches not only affect the overall appearance, but also affect the healthy growth of the asparagus fern. Then, when spring comes, change the pot soil, replacing it with soil suitable for the growth of asparagus fern, such as soil containing humus.
