To grow asparagus fern well, you only need to bury and feed - these two tricks promote rapid growth and glossy, emerald-green leaves

The asparagus fern has slender branches and leaves, upright and elegant, with a graceful posture and a strong sense of layering, fresh and refined. It is a green plant deeply loved by many flower enthusiasts.

But during the care of asparagus fern, yellow leaves and dead branches often appear, and it barely grows. Today, Hua'er will introduce some tips for caring for asparagus fern, so it grows nonstop and its leaves become emerald green and glossy.

Asparagus fern also needs nutrients to grow, and organic fertilizer is most suitable. If you want it to grow well without yellow leaves, bury a few fully ripe soybeans into the soil, distributing them around the sides. When burying, be careful to avoid direct contact with the roots, otherwise it will cause root rot. Bury once every one to one and a half months, in different positions.

Fermented rice water is rich in nutrients and, for asparagus fern, is more like a "high-calcium liquid" that lets it grow better. Water it with a cup of diluted rice water every 7-10 days, and it will grow vigorously with emerald green, glossy leaves.

Besides fertilizing, other aspects of care for asparagus fern also need to be well understood:

1. Watering

Asparagus fern has relatively high water requirements. Too much water causes root rot, while too little water causes dry tips and yellow leaves. Therefore, water when the soil is dry and water thoroughly. When the air is relatively dry, spray more moisture onto the leaves to increase humidity.

2. Placement

Asparagus fern likes a clean environment with good air circulation. Its leaves are slender with very small stomata, so it must not be placed in places with a lot of smoke and dust, such as near the TV or in the kitchen. Especially in summer, spray moisture onto the leaves frequently to clean the leaf surface.

3. Pruning

How ornamental a plant is depends largely on pruning, and asparagus fern is the same. During the growing season there are many new shoots. For branches whose growth position is not ideal or that have grown deformed during growth, prune these off. Some branches become leggy and should also be pruned in time to promote the growth of side shoots, making the whole plant fuller and more layered.
