Asparagus Hanging

Asparagus Fern is a common name for several species of Asparagus plants with a fern-like appearance. It belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is native to South Africa. While not a true fern, it shares many of the same characteristics, including its delicate, feathery fronds.

Popular hanging varieties include:

• Asparagus densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’: Dense, feathery fronds. Grows up to 3 feet.
• Asparagus setaceus (Foxtail Fern): Thin, wiry stems with tiny, needle-like leaves. Grows up to 2 feet.
• Asparagus falcatus (Foxtail Fern): Long, arching stems with feathery fronds. Grows up to 6 feet.

Plant Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.
• Watering: Water regularly but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
• Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain shape and size.
• Pests/Diseases: Generally resistant, but watch for mealybugs and scale insects.

Enjoy the beauty of your Asparagus Fern!
