Common Issues in the Care of Asparagus Fern
Today, I will introduce to you the experience of propagating asparagus ferns, including the common problems in their care. Let's learn about them together.
1. The small branches of the asparagus fern turn yellow but do not fall off, mainly due to insufficient nutrients in the potting soil, resulting in malnutrition. Some are caused by compacted soil with poor ventilation, reduced root activity, and consequently affecting the normal growth of the plant. In addition to changing the pot with nutrient-rich organic soil in spring, it is also necessary to regularly loosen the surface of the potting soil and pay attention to strengthening fertilization.
2. The tip of the asparagus fern leaves turn brown and fall off, mainly due to insufficient watering, the potting soil being too dry, or the relative humidity being too low. It is necessary to keep the potting soil moist and frequently spray water on the plant. It is best for the water temperature to be the same as the room temperature, and place the asparagus fern in a location with high humidity. During the growing season, a mixed fertilizer should be applied appropriately to promote robust plant growth and enhance resistance.
3. The branches and tips of the asparagus fern turn dark yellow or yellow-green, mainly due to strong sunlight exposure or excessive watering. It should be moved to a shaded area or near a curtain-covered window to avoid direct sunlight, and also pay attention not to water too much.
4. The roots of the asparagus fern rot, and the branches and tips turn yellow and fall off, mainly due to strong wind attacks during the hot summer season or prolonged waterlogging in the pot. Therefore, special attention should be paid to guard against thunderstorms or typhoons in summer.
The above discussion on the common issues in the care of asparagus ferns is hoping to bring a little help to your life!
