Water your asparagus fern this way, and it won't rot roots or turn yellow leaves, staying green all four seasons

Asparagus fern is also called "the bamboo of elegance." Placed in the home, it not only absorbs harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, but also secretes volatile oils with antibacterial components, which can reduce the occurrence of colds and typhoid, and is very helpful to human health. Moreover, asparagus fern is elegant, enhances personal cultivation, and helps regulate and relax the mind. Asparagus fern has many benefits, yet it is not easy to grow. Asparagus fern is rather delicate, and many people cause its leaves to turn yellow because of watering problems. Let's take a look at how to solve this!

Watering asparagus fern

-Principles for watering asparagus fern-

First, when watering asparagus fern you should grasp the principle of "dry then wet." Dry then wet means watering thoroughly first, and when the surface layer of the potting soil dries and turns pale, by which time the inner layer of potting soil is also about to dry, then water again. This watering method not only ensures the growing environment for some moisture-loving flowers, such as asparagus fern, azalea, camellia, banana shrub, gardenia and other flowers, but also keeps the potting soil from becoming too dry or too wet, making the potting soil nicely moist and ensuring a breathing environment for the roots. This watering method can avoid root rot and a series of diseases and yellow-leaf problems caused by overwatering.

Simply put, touch the potting soil with your hand, and water when it is dry. After watering, water must not accumulate in the pot; let the water drain out.

-Mist the leaves appropriately at ordinary times-

Asparagus fern likes a moist environment. If the air humidity is a bit higher, it is good for the growth of the plant. If the air humidity is relatively low and the air is relatively dry, especially in the north, it easily makes asparagus fern leaves turn yellow and dry at the tips. The place where asparagus fern is placed should be far from heat sources such as appliance vents and radiators. Regularly mist the leaves with water to increase air humidity.

-Watering asparagus fern should not be too icy cold-

Asparagus fern is quite sensitive, and the watering temperature should not differ too much from the ambient temperature. Asparagus fern is not cold-tolerant, which is obvious in winter. In winter, tap water is very cold, and if you water asparagus fern with it directly, it is very likely to freeze the roots and cause yellow leaves. In winter, it is best to add a little hot water to make it warm before watering.

-Four-season care for asparagus fern-

In spring, asparagus fern can be pruned along with repotting, otherwise it will lose its original shape and become a trailing plant. Asparagus fern grows vigorously in spring, so you can fertilize once a month.

In summer, when the weather is hot, it should be kept in a cool, ventilated place indoors, keeping the potting soil moist, and regularly misting the leaves to increase humidity and prevent scorching and dry tips.

Care in autumn is similar to spring, and you can increase the supply of water and fertilizer. If the temperature is relatively low, it should be moved indoors for care as soon as possible.

In winter, it should be kept under a sunny windowsill, taking care to keep it warm. A wintering temperature above 5°C is relatively safe. Do not water too much in winter; keeping it slightly on the dry side helps the plant get through the winter.
