How to deal with excessive fertilization of asparagus fern? Do you need to water it after fertilization?

1. How to deal with excessive fertilization

Asparagus fern has low requirements for fertilizer during its growth period. Do not apply too much fertilizer to it, otherwise the leaves will show adverse symptoms, turn yellow and fall off. If not treated promptly, the plant may die. If you apply too much fertilizer, you need to stop fertilizing first, and then pour some water into the soil to allow the fertilizer to flow out from the drainage holes in the flowerpot. If the plant does not get better, you need to turn the pot over, wash off the soil on the roots, cut off the rotten roots, disinfect it, and replace the soil, and finally plant it in the pot.

2. Do you need to water after fertilizing?

After fertilizing asparagus fern, you can water it, which can promote the plant to absorb nutrients. However, liquid fertilizer is sometimes applied, in which case it is not necessary to water the plant. When applying fertilizer, the amount should be small, as excessive fertilizer can easily burn the roots.

3. Precautions for fertilization

1. When fertilizing asparagus fern, do not apply concentrated fertilizer, let alone raw fertilizer. Apply decomposed fertilizer. Also, fertilizer should not be applied to branches and leaves. If it is applied to the leaves, spray some water on the plant. This can reduce damage to the leaves.

2. Do not fertilize it when the temperature is too high, because it will go dormant and the roots cannot absorb nutrients like during the growing season. Therefore, if you continue to apply fertilizer normally, the roots will be burned if they cannot absorb it.
