Can asparagus fern be repotted in summer?

Asparagus fern grows particularly luxuriantly in the summer, and it is not suitable to repot it during the peak season of plant growth, as this will seriously affect its growth. Therefore, it is best not to repot asparagus fern in the summer, unless it is infested with diseases and insect pests and has to be repotted.

How to repot asparagus fern

You should choose to repot asparagus fern in the evening or on cloudy days when there is no obvious sunlight. Spread the soil evenly on a flat surface and use it only after it has been exposed to the sun.

Try not to clean up all the soil. Keep some of the previous soil on the roots. After repotting, place the plant in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth. You can maintain it normally after a few days.

Things to note when repotting asparagus fern

1. Do not water before repotting

Do not water asparagus fern 1-2 days before repotting. Let the soil in the pot dry a little. This will make it easier to take out the plant intact without damaging the roots. It is not suitable to water it too much right after repotting. Allow the seedlings to acclimate for a week before managing it normally.

2. The roots are covered with soil

When repotting asparagus fern, be sure to pay attention to keeping more of the old soil on the roots, because transplanting with soil will help the seedlings to grow faster than transplanting with only one root, and it can enter the normal growth period earlier. After repotting, place it in a cool, ventilated place for a few days before managing it normally.
