FERN ASPARAGUS 4 IN.

Prepare to be charmed by the Asparagus Fern (Asparagus densiflorus), a plant that, despite its name, is not a true fern but rather a member of the lily family! This isn't just any houseplant; it's a cascade of feathery, bright green foliage that adds an airy elegance and texture to any space. Its delicate appearance belies a surprisingly resilient nature, making it a fantastic choice for both seasoned plant enthusiasts and those just beginning their green journey.

Asparagus Ferns are versatile in size, growing anywhere from 1 to 3 feet in height and width, and they can be trained to trail beautifully from hanging baskets or fill out a pot on a shelf. They thrive in bright, indirect light, much like the filtered sun found in their native South African habitat. An east-facing window is often perfect, or a spot a few feet away from a brighter south or west window will keep them happy, preventing the direct sun that can scorch their delicate "fronds."

Important Note for Pet Parents: While beautiful, Asparagus Ferns are considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, especially their small red berries, which can cause gastric upset. It's best to place them out of reach of curious pets.

When repotting, use Watters Potting Soil, ensuring good drainage as they dislike soggy feet. This loose, airy blend will give their fleshy roots room to grow. To encourage that vibrant green growth, feed your Asparagus Fern monthly during the growing season (spring through early fall) with either Urban Gardener's Super Growth Elixir or Fertilome's All Purpose Houseplant Food. Dilute to half strength to avoid over-fertilization, as these plants prefer a lighter touch.
