Why does asparagus fern always turn yellow leaves? This is the culprit

For flower lovers who like growing asparagus fern, the most frustrating thing is yellowing and drying leaves! Chengcheng tells everyone: 80% of the reason asparagus fern turns yellow and dries out lies in watering!

Because asparagus fern leaves are very small and thin, they cannot store much water. After being short of water for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and dry out. By the time we water it again, it is actually already too late! So how do we tell whether asparagus fern is short of water? I will tell everyone two little methods:

1. Look at the color of the potting soil

Usually observe the color of the potting soil often. As long as you find that the color of the potting soil has turned grayish white, it means the asparagus fern is short of water. At this time, we need to water it in time!

2. Look at the weight

Experienced flower lovers can often weigh the flower pot in their hands. If you feel that the weight of the flower pot has obviously become lighter, it means the water has mostly been absorbed by the asparagus fern. At this time, it is time to water it!

In addition, asparagus fern likes shade, so never let direct sunlight hit it. Usually be sure to place it in a cool, ventilated spot with bright indirect light. If direct sunlight hits it, even for a short while, the leaves will be scorched and turn yellow! Moreover, the root system of asparagus fern is relatively weak and does not need much nutrients! So if it is a potted asparagus fern bonsai, we had better not fertilize it, because if the fertilizer is slightly too much, it will burn the roots. If it is an asparagus fern that likes to climb, then apply a small amount of compound fertilizer, and the amount must not be large!
