What to do if the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow

Asparagus fern is a kind of flower that many friends like to grow at home, but in many cases, the leaves of asparagus fern will turn yellow, which makes people very upset. So what should we do if the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow?

What to do if the leaves of asparagus fern turn yellow

1. Shade the asparagus fern

Asparagus fern is a plant that prefers partial shade and partial sun. If it is placed in an environment with too strong light, its leaves will turn yellow. At this time, shading the asparagus fern or moving it to a cool environment can make the leaves turn green again.

2. Control the amount of watering

Asparagus fern has very high requirements for water during its growth period. Excessive watering will cause the leaves of asparagus fern to turn yellow. Although asparagus fern likes moisture, it is afraid of waterlogging. If yellow leaves appear due to excessive watering, you can reduce the amount of water, or spray water on the leaves with a spray bottle, which can change the situation of yellowing leaves.

3. Nutrient control

Excessive or insufficient nutrients are important reasons for the yellowing of asparagus fern leaves. If the nutrients are sufficient, you can fertilize appropriately, but if excessive fertilization causes the leaves to turn yellow, you should rinse the pot soil with water to dilute the fertilizer, or directly change the soil in the flowerpot. After proper treatment, the yellowing of asparagus fern leaves will be controlled.

4. Strengthen management in winter

Some asparagus ferns are particularly prone to yellowing leaves in winter, which is caused by improper management. At this time, you can put the asparagus fern in a warm sunny environment, preferably with a room temperature of 8 to 12 degrees. If the room temperature is lower than 8 degrees, the leaves of the asparagus fern will become yellow. In addition, asparagus fern is also afraid of smoke pollution. If the environment is too heavy with smoke and dust, moving it to an environment with good air circulation can also reduce the symptoms of yellowing leaves.
