Asparagus Fern Asparagus Setaceus 40 cm

Asparagus setaceus, commonly known as Asparagus fern or Lace Fern, is a popular houseplant known for its delicate, feathery foliage. Despite its name, it is not a true fern but rather a member of the Asparagus family.

Asparagus setaceus features long, arching stems covered with small, needle-like, bright green leaves that resemble delicate lace. The foliage creates a bushy and cascading effect, making it an attractive choice for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant in pots.

The plant produces small white or pinkish flowers, followed by small, round berries, though indoor-grown specimens may not always bloom.

Asparagus fern is often associated with emotions such as friendship, compassion, and prosperity. In some cultures, it is believed to bring good luck and protect against negative energy.

Watering: Asparagus fern prefers slightly moist soil but can be sensitive to overwatering. It's crucial to allow the top inch of the soil to dry out

Light:  Asparagus setaceus prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can lead to leaf burn.

Humidity: These plants thrive in high humidity environments. If the air is dry in your home, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles near the plant to increase humidity.

Temperature: Asparagus fern prefers average to warm temperatures, ideally ranging from 18°C to 25°C (65°F to 77°F). Protect the plant from cold drafts, as it is sensitive to sudden temperature drops.

Toxicity: Asparagus setaceus is considered mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so it's best to keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.

Origin: Asparagus setaceus is native to South Africa.
