Asparagus Plumosus Fern House Plant 6cm Pot
Asparagus Plumosus, also known as the Asparagus Fern, is a graceful, bushy plant with delicate, feathery foliage. Here are some tips for caring for your Asparagus Plumosus:
-
Light: Asparagus Plumosus prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to become leggy.

-
Soil: Asparagus Plumosus prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
-
Fertilizer: Feed your Asparagus Plumosus with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the winter months.

Pruning: Prune your Asparagus Plumosus to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. You can also remove any yellowing or damaged leaves or branches.
