What to do if asparagus fern grows slowly

Lack of water

Asparagus fern is a plant that likes moisture and is afraid of dryness. When cultivating it, if it is watered too little or the surrounding environment is relatively dry, it will suffer from insufficient water. Over time, its growth will stagnate and its leaves may even turn yellow.

Therefore, when growing asparagus fern, you can water it when the surface of the soil is dry. Water it thoroughly and spray water on the leaves of asparagus fern frequently to increase the humidity.

Insufficient light

Asparagus fern needs sufficient light to grow, but asparagus fern grown indoors often cannot meet its light requirements, which will cause it to be hidden for a long time, and its growth will naturally be very slow.

When growing asparagus fern, you can place it in a place indoors where it can get sufficient light, preferably scattered light, but you need to pay attention to shade in the summer.

Insufficient nutrients

If you want asparagus fern to grow quickly, it must receive enough nutrients. If there are not enough nutrients, the asparagus fern will naturally not have enough power to grow.

When growing asparagus fern, it is generally sufficient to apply a thin liquid fertilizer, because asparagus fern itself does not require much fertilizer. During the vigorous growth seasons of spring, summer and autumn, fertilizer can be applied once every half a month.

Improper pruning

When growing asparagus fern, if it is not pruned, it will easily get out of shape, look messy, and even have vines but no leaves.

It can be seen from this that pruning asparagus fern is very important. Generally, it should be pruned at least once a month. Those branches without leaves can be pruned off, and the overgrown branches and branches with yellow leaves should also be pruned off. This way, nutrients can be concentrated for growth.
