What to do when asparagus fern leaves turn yellow? Master care techniques to keep asparagus fern from turning yellow

Last time, the editor talked with everyone about the difference between cloud bamboo and asparagus fern, so you may have some general understanding of cloud bamboo and asparagus fern. This time, let the editor talk with everyone about the causes of yellowing asparagus fern leaves, the treatment methods, and how to grow asparagus fern so it does not turn yellow.

I. Causes of yellowing asparagus fern leaves and treatment methods

Yellowing asparagus fern leaves are usually affected by three causes: too little watering, direct strong light, and being surrounded by cooking fumes. First, the yellowed leaves need to be cut off, then water should be replenished in time; when watering, a little white sugar can also be added to the water, which can make the asparagus fern leaves more emerald green. Asparagus fern likes a shady environment, and direct strong light will cause yellow leaves, so the asparagus fern needs to be placed in a spot with diffused light in the living room. In the place where asparagus fern is grown, smoking should not be frequent; the harmful substances from smoking will also enter the asparagus fern and cause yellow leaves.

II. How to grow asparagus fern

1. Asparagus fern relatively likes fertilizer. In spring and autumn, apply a thin organic liquid fertilizer once every 3 weeks; in daily care, after an interval, 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used to spray the leaves; too much fertilizer will cause leggy growth and long trailing vines. If the height of the asparagus fern is to be controlled, then fertilizing must be controlled well, especially by applying less nitrogen fertilizer. Do not fertilize in summer and winter.

2. Asparagus fern likes shade and prefers to grow under diffused light conditions. In early spring and autumn, the sunlight is not strong, so placing it in a bright indoor spot is beneficial for growth; in winter, place it in a sunny spot; in summer, move it indoors to a spot with bright diffused light.

3. The watering principle is not to water if not dry, and to water thoroughly when watering. Do not water “halfway water.” When the weather is dry or hot, moderately increase air humidity. In winter, watering should be controlled and the frequency of watering reduced.

4. In March to April every year, repot the old asparagus fern plant, and prune appropriately before repotting. Cut off dead branches and yellow leaf-like branches.

5. Regularly tidy the plant's layers and prune to maintain good ventilation; if it is too dense, it is easily affected by anthracnose fungi.
