Asparagus fern Care

Asparagus fern Uses

Prune it back

Trim off older, bare stems in the spring to make room for new growth and to keep the plant looking neat.

Leaf drop

Usually a symptom of too much sunlight — or, more likely — dry soil.

Keep your asparagus fern where it’ll get filtered light.

Water regularly, but take care not to overwater.

The plant’s thick, tuberous roots store water and soggy soil can cause root rot.
