Asparagus Fern Plant Care
Scientific Name
Asparagus aethiopicus
Light
The Sprengeri Asparagus Fern, or Asparagus Sprengeri Fern, flourishes in dappled shade, although it can gradually adjust to brighter light conditions. To protect its lush foliage from scorching, it’s advisable to avoid direct, intense sunlight.
Water
Maintaining the optimal hydration level for your Sprengeri Asparagus Fern may require a bit of extra care, particularly because this plant thrives in humid conditions. Indoor environments, especially during the dry winter months, can often lack the necessary moisture. To provide the ideal habitat for your fern, consider misting it daily, with a focus on the gracefully arching stems. If you notice your plant’s foliage turning brown and drooping, it’s a sign that it needs more water. Keep the soil consistently moist and water when the top inch feels dry to the touch. For outdoor growth, ensure the asparagus fern remains well-watered to prevent the soil from completely drying out.
