Old Li grows asparagus fern: one bowl of celery water every 7 days, and it climbs up the pole like a monkey, growing like crazy

Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) is an indoor potted plant with elegant, refined leaves. Its leaves are slender and delicate, giving a quiet, understated feeling. Whether placed in the bedroom, living room or study, it looks very elegant and has won the affection of many flower lovers, but unfortunately, although many people like asparagus fern, few can grow it well. Many people buy asparagus fern and take it home, and before long its leaves turn yellow and it withers. So how can you grow baby's breath well?

The asparagus fern grown by flower lover Old Li has oily green leaves, lush branches and leaves, and can even be covered in small white flowers. It is especially beautiful. Anyone who has seen it praises Old Li's asparagus fern endlessly. So how did Old Li do it?

Old Li says it is not hard: give it a bowl of "celery water" every 7 days, and it climbs up the pole like a monkey, growing like crazy!

It turns out that Old Li has high blood pressure, and eating celery regularly can lower it, so at Old Li's home they really do eat celery once every few days. Whether dressed as a salad or stir-fried, Old Li likes it very much, especially the celery leaves. Most people throw them away, but Old Li's family blanches them in boiling water and then dresses them as a salad, and prepared this way they are very tasty. Every time the celery leaves are blanched, Old Li keeps out a bowl of the water, sets it aside to cool, and then waters the asparagus fern with it. Unexpectedly, the asparagus fern grew especially well and can bloom all over every year.

Old Li says that generally he waters once every 7-10 days, and in summer he sprays the asparagus fern's leaves with clean water. He does not really do much else, yet the asparagus fern grew like crazy. This shows that watering asparagus fern with celery water really is quite good.

Later, Xiaohua looked it up. This is mainly because celery juice is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, nitrogen and some other carbohydrates, cellulose, vitamins, minerals, etc. After these dissolve in water, they are especially suited to the needs of foliage plants such as asparagus fern, pothos, spider plant and money tree, and they can also keep the soil acidic, so the effect after use is especially good

The phosphorus in it is exactly what can make asparagus fern bloom more, and it can also encourage asparagus fern to send out many small side shoots, so it can quickly grow into a full large pot. After giving it a pole to climb, it will climb forward along the pole like a monkey, and together with being covered in small white flowers, it looks especially beautiful, like baby's breath.

However, the celery water used to water flowers must not contain salt or other seasonings. Flower lovers need to pay special attention to this point

However, water from blanching some other vegetables, such as bok choy, also has a certain effect when used to grow flowers. Flower lovers should not throw it away anymore!

With this little method, growing asparagus fern is sure to get twice the result with half the effort. If you want asparagus fern to grow well, you also need to pay attention to other things!

1. Light

Asparagus fern is a plant that prefers shade. Especially in summer, it must not be in direct sunlight. Usually it can be placed in a bright, indirectly lit, ventilated spot for care. Placing it on the coffee table in the living room or in the study is very suitable.

2. Watering

When watering asparagus fern, be sure that water does not accumulate in the pot. You can water again after the soil dries out. It is suggested that flower lovers water once every 7-10 days, and usually spray more water on its leaves and around it. It prefers a humid environment, and this can also clean dust off the leaf surface, which can make its leaves green and shiny.

3. Potting soil

Asparagus fern has fine roots that are not especially developed, so the potting soil needs to be loose and breathable. It is recommended to use leaf mold or pine needle soil, which is best

4. Environment and pruning

Asparagus fern does not like smoke and dust, so if anyone smokes regularly, be sure to open the window in time to ventilate it, and it is best not to place it in the kitchen or other places with a lot of cooking fumes.

If the asparagus fern grows especially fast, it also needs pruning, so that its shape can look nice and graceful. If you are reluctant to prune it, giving it a frame to support it, as Old Li does in the picture below, is also very beautiful.
