When is the best time to divide asparagus fern?

Division is one method of propagating asparagus fern, but division often carries a certain risk. To improve the survival rate of divisions, every detail of the division process must be handled carefully. For propagating asparagus fern by division, 1- to 2-year-old seedlings are generally most suitable, and the best time is March, April and May. If the temperature is too high, it is not conducive to survival.

How do you divide, repot and transplant asparagus fern?

1. Choose an asparagus fern with robust growth, no rot, and many clustered stems as the mother plant. Water it thoroughly once 1 day before division.

2. Take the potted seedling to be divided out of its pot, gently shake off the potting soil from the roots, and place it on a prepared wooden board to divide. Generally, each seedling can be divided into 2 to 3 plants.

Note: When dividing, you should be skilled with your hands and use a sharp knife, completing the division in one go. The seedlings after division must have roots, otherwise they cannot survive. The cut surface of the divided seedlings should be quickly dipped in plant ash, then planted in prepared flower pots and watered thoroughly once. Place the divided potted seedlings in a semi-shaded place and care for them carefully. Generally, new branches will sprout in 25 to 40 days. At this point, you can remove or keep branches according to the plant's growth vigor and shape it.
