Caring for Asparagus plumosus in a pot, lighting is very important. If your Asparagus plumosus at home often has yellow leaves, withered branches at the bottom, or dry leaves, it could very well be caused by excessive exposure to sunlight, especially in spring, autumn, and summer when sunlight should not be too strong.
It should be placed in a semi-shaded area with scattered light, such as on a north-facing balcony or a shaded spot, avoiding direct sunlight. At the same time, it should not be placed in a completely dark area, as it would be unable to perform photosynthesis and grow new branches and leaves. Therefore, special attention should be paid to lighting issues.
