How to prune asparagus fern when its leaves turn yellow

1. How to trim

Once the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow, it is difficult to turn them back to green. Therefore, it is best to cut off the yellow leaves at this time to prevent them from further deteriorating and affecting their appearance. It is relatively resistant to pruning, and pruning should be done according to the overall shape of the plant, and yellow leaves and dead branches should be cut off. This can also save nutrients and allow it to recover as soon as possible. If the plant turns yellow due to infection with a disease, all the yellow leaves must be cut off, otherwise the entire plant will soon be infected.

2. How to solve it

1. Water in moderation: The yellowing of leaves is most commonly caused by improper watering. Too much or too little watering can lead to this phenomenon. If you water too much, the branches will turn yellow, and if you lack water, the leaves will turn yellow. When caring for the plant, water it in moderation and keep it moist without any accumulation of water.

2. Reduce light: Asparagus fern likes shade. If it is kept in a place with strong light, the leaves will be sunburned. It should be moved to a place with scattered light, and attention should be paid in the later stage to block strong light in time.

3. Ventilate frequently: If the air is not circulating during indoor maintenance, the leaves will easily turn yellow. Therefore, you should open the windows more often to provide it with a fresh and clean growing environment so that it will grow better.
