This assortment comes with three different varieties of asparagus fern. Varieties are growers choice and based on health, beauty and current availability. Possible varieties include foxtail, ming, plumosa, or sprengeri. Wiry shrub with branches scrambling or climbing. One of the fastest-growing least demanding houseplants. Asparagus ferns are not ferns at all, they belong to the asparagus family. They need bright indirect light, without full sun. Insufficient light will result in yellow needles that drop. They prefer rich, slightly acidic well-drained soil. Ferns are relatively easy to grow; however, drafts, dry air, and temperature extremes wont help. Ferns that are pampered and protected from things like dry air and temperature extremes will reward you with lush green fronds all year round, beautifying your indoor garden more than you could imagine. Mist your ferns as often as practical, preferably in the morning. Keep a spray bottle handy and train your family members to use it whenever they pass by the fern. Stand the pot on a tray of pebbles or clay granules and keep those wet. This increases the humidity around the plant without keeping the roots soggy. Touch the soil and water your fern if the top feels dry. However, a word of caution: unless it’s a bog fern, don’t let your fern sit in water. Keep it damp, not soggy.
