How to propagate asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) by cuttings? You'll get it right away with these detailed steps
When taking asparagus fern cuttings, choose a branch with fairly lush leaves, use a knife to make a cut on the stem, apply moss to it, and place it in a ventilated, shady spot. When a nodule forms at the wound, cut it off, insert it into a pre-prepared cloth bag filled with moist soil, and then plant it together into a flower pot. It will root in about a month.
1. Choosing the cutting branch
When choosing the branch for the cutting, be sure to choose one with fairly lush leaves. Use a knife to make a small cut on its stem, then smear a layer of moss over it, and place it in a moist, ventilated spot.
2. Pruning the cutting branch
Leave the branch to be used for the cutting for about 10 days, and a tumor-like nodule will grow at the wound. At this point, cut it off, keeping only two side branches on the branch and pruning away all the rest.
3. Potting and care
Put moist soil into a small cloth bag, poke a hole in it, insert the cutting into the bag, then bury it in a flower pot and place it in a shady spot, preferably in an environment of 20 to 30 degrees. It will root in about a month.
