Want "asparagus fern" to bloom into "baby's breath"? Water it with "this water" in autumn, flower farmers all do this
(One)
Make nutrient water from soybeans, asparagus fern grows vigorously after drinking it and blooms into baby's breath
Seeing the subheading, I believe flower lovers all know that to make asparagus fern grow fast, you need to water it with soybean water. So why does watering with soybean water work?
Don't be impatient, let Xiaohua explain slowly.
Soybeans contain a large amount of protein and vegetable oil. After fermentation, they break down and transform into a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which is especially suitable for the growth of asparagus fern. Moreover, if you want asparagus fern to be covered in flowers, phosphorus fertilizer is absolutely essential, but not too much is needed, so soybean water is just right. Generally, experienced old flower farmers use this kind of water to grow asparagus fern and have all achieved especially good results.
The method for making it into flower fertilizer is as follows:
Take an appropriate amount of soybeans and soak them in water for more than 10 hours, after which they will swell up. This can also be called soaking the soybeans until they sprout. After the soybeans have swollen, you can put them in a pot and boil them, adding more water, until the soybeans can be crushed with a press of something. Then it is ready. Let it cool and set aside.
Find a large plastic bottle, clean it thoroughly, and put the cooled soybeans together with the water used to boil them into the plastic bottle. It is best to add a bit of insecticide, fill it to 80 percent full, and place it in a warm, ventilated place to ferment and decompose.
It is recommended that flower lovers use it after 6 months. By then, there is no peculiar smell and the fertilizer effect is sufficient. First take the clear liquid from the upper layer of the soybean water and mix it with 30 times its volume of clean water to water the asparagus fern. Use it 2 times a month.
Asparagus fern cared for with soybean water over the long term not only grows fast, but also has emerald green leaves. It can also improve the looseness of the potting soil, making the soil loose and breathable without becoming compacted. Even if you do not repot for 3 years, there will still be sufficient nutrients, nourishing both roots and leaves.
Moreover, if the asparagus fern has been cared for for more than 2 years, when the flowering season arrives, namely September to October, it can be covered in flowers. The small white flowers bloom speckled across the emerald green leaves, and it can be said to be even more beautiful than baby's breath.

If you want asparagus fern to grow well, other care is indispensable
1. Light
Asparagus fern likes a bright, diffused-light and ventilated environment. It must not be exposed to direct sunlight, but it also cannot be without light. If you can keep it in a place with bright light but no direct sunlight, and with good ventilation, then the asparagus fern will definitely love it.
2. Watering
Just keep the potting soil of the asparagus fern moist. Do not water too much. But asparagus fern also likes a humid environment, so it is best to spray its leaves with water every day. If you use tap water to water the asparagus fern, it is best to let it sit in the sun for about 2 days before use.
3. Pruning
If you want the asparagus fern to have a good shape, then pruning is indispensable, especially during the peak growing period. Overly dense branches as well as some old, weak and damaged branches should be removed in time. First, this can maintain a good shape; second, it allows ventilation and air circulation.
Warm reminder:
Asparagus fern does not like smoke and dust, so it must be kept away from smoky and dusty environments. Also, when caring for asparagus fern, it is best not to use chemical compound fertilizers or raw fertilizers, as these are extremely unfavorable to the growth of asparagus fern.
