Everyone knows that if you want potted plants to grow fast, they must get enough nutrients, so in autumn, if flower lovers want their potted plants to grow a bit faster, they must give them plenty of nutrients. Below, Xiaohua shares a few small fertilizing methods suitable for asparagus fern and snake plant, all with particularly good results after use:

1. Worm castings

Worm castings are a kind of fertilizer containing many nutrients, and after use they can make the potting soil loose, breathable and nutritious without compacting. So why do worm castings have such an effect? This is mainly because earthworms secrete a nutrient element in their bodies that can blend various nutrients together, making it especially suitable for plants.

The method of use is as follows:

Collect worm castings from the grass in a park, or buy them directly online. First, the collected worm castings need to be sun-dried for about 7 days before use. They can be spread directly on the surface, or 3-4 granules can be added when watering, or they can be buried directly in the flower pot. The more the better, they will not burn the roots, and they suit any flower.

2. Soybean water

Soybeans are mainly composed of protein, and after fermentation and decomposition they turn into rich nitrogen fertilizer, suitable for all kinds of foliage potted plants.

The method of use is as follows:

Take an appropriate amount of soybeans, first soak them in clean water for more than 10 hours, then after they swell, put them directly into a pot and boil them. After they are cooked soft, there are two ways to use them:

Use a stick to poke several deep holes along the edge of the asparagus fern or snake plant pot. It must be at the pot edge, far from the roots. Put 2-3 soybeans in each hole and cover with soil. As you water, the soybeans will slowly ferment and decompose in the soil. You can also let the boiled soybeans cool, put them directly into a plastic bottle, add a little insecticide and chopped orange peel, add the water used to boil the soybeans, and fill to 8 parts full, then ferment. It can be used after 40 days, but after fermenting for more than 6 months there is no strange smell. Take the clear liquid on top and mix it with 30 times its volume of clean water, and use it about once every 10 days. This is the best fertilizer water Xiaohua has ever seen, with amazingly good results after use. Whoever uses it knows.

Other care for asparagus fern and snake plant:

Asparagus fern

Besides fertilizing, watering, light and pruning are all very important in the care of asparagus fern:

Asparagus fern likes a humid environment, so its potting soil should stay moist. Generally water once every 5-7 days, and you can often spray water on its leaves. This keeps the leaves emerald green and the plant shape attractive, but there must never be standing water in the pot.

Asparagus fern does not like strong light, so it can be placed in a spot with bright indirect light and good ventilation. Asparagus fern does not like smoke or dust, so it must have good ventilation!

To keep the asparagus fern's shape attractive and its ventilation good, be sure to remember to prune it, especially some old branches and withered leaves. Removing them in time can reduce nutrient consumption, and the plant shape and ventilation will be good.

Snake plant

The snake plant's thick, fleshy leaves have a water-storing function and it is fairly drought-tolerant, so we do not need to water it too much. It is recommended to water about once every 10 days, and water thoroughly each time, with no standing water. You can often spray water to clean its leaves. Watering should be done in the morning or toward evening.

It needs plenty of sunlight, but not scorching sun. Especially in the hot summer season, it must be shaded.

If you want the spots on the snake plant to be clearly visible, we need to apply phosphorus fertilizer once for it. This will keep its spots clear. Especially the golden-edged snake plant needs phosphorus fertilizer even more, otherwise the spots on it will become paler and paler.
