How to fertilize asparagus fern? Master the right method for fuller branches and leaves

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
When fertilizing asparagus fern, it is best to choose fermented and composted organic fertilizer as the main type. During spring and autumn, apply it about once a week, and in winter, apply it about once every 15 to 20 days. During the high temperatures of summer, stop fertilizing. In addition, when fertilizing, it is best to apply frequently but in small amounts, and do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

1. How to fertilize

During the growing season, asparagus fern should be given 1 to 2 applications of compound fertilizer to promote lush branches and leaves. During its flowering period, one additional fertilizer application can be given to improve its seed-setting rate. At other times, it is best to choose fermented and composted organic fertilizer, which can be made at home from cake fertilizer, sesame paste residue, and similar materials. The best fertilizing time is about once a week in spring and autumn, about once every 15 to 20 days in winter, and fertilizing should be stopped during the high temperatures of summer.

2. Precautions

Do not fertilize too much during the flowering period of asparagus fern. In May to June and September to October, apply liquid fertilizer twice as a supplementary feeding. When fertilizing it, it is best to apply frequently but in small amounts. Never apply concentrated fertilizer, otherwise it will cause the branches and leaves to turn yellow, or the asparagus fern to grow excessively.
