How to grow asparagus fern? What to do if the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow?

Asparagus fern is a favorite potted plant for many people. It is mainly for viewing leaves, with green leaves and high ornamental value. Asparagus fern belongs to the Liliaceae family and the Asparagus genus. It can not only be made into potted plants for viewing, but also made into cut flowers and bouquets, and it has a wide range of uses in life. However, some people do not understand the cultivation method of asparagus fern. During the cultivation period, the leaves of asparagus fern often turn yellow or die. What can we do?

Farming methods

Asparagus fern is suitable for cultivation. It grows in fertile and loose sandy loam and requires a warm and humid environment. It should be allowed to receive sunlight in moderation and not be exposed to direct sunlight. It should not be overwatered. It can only be watered after the disk is dry. Under normal circumstances, it is most appropriate to water it every 5 to 7 days. In addition, concentrated fertilizers cannot be applied to Asparagus fern during cultivation, otherwise it will damage its roots and cause death.

What to do when leaves turn yellow

1. Lighting issues

Asparagus fern is a shade-loving plant. If it is placed in direct sunlight for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow. The best way to deal with it is to cut off the yellow leaves and move the asparagus fern to a relatively shady environment.

2. Improper watering

If you don't water it properly, the leaves of asparagus fern will turn yellow. Although it likes a humid environment, it is afraid of waterlogging. If you water it too much, it will cause waterlogging in the flowerpot, and the roots of the asparagus fern will rot and the leaves will turn yellow. At this time, you should take the asparagus fern out in time, let the water in the soil evaporate, and then replant it in the flowerpot. In addition, in the hot summer weather, the leaves of asparagus fern cannot absorb water in time and will turn yellow. At this time, you should spray water on its leaves in time to increase the air humidity.

3. Insufficient nutrients

Insufficient nutrients are also the main reason why the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow! Under normal circumstances, the asparagus fern should be repotted every two years, with new potting soil and sufficient base fertilizer. If the pot is not changed for a long time, the nutrients in the soil will decrease and cannot meet the needs of the normal growth of asparagus fern, which will cause its leaves to turn yellow. At this time, just change the pot and replace the new potting soil in time.
