Plant Bio
Asparagus Fern is not a true fern, but a member of the lily family (Liliaceae). Long, arching stems densely covered with short, needle-like leaflets give this plant a delicate appearance. It has a cascading habit that makes it ideal for a hanging basket. Mature plants will bloom in summer with small, white-to-pale pink flowers, sometimes followed by clusters of green berries that turn red in the winter. These berries are poisonous if eaten. Florists love the feathery, emerald-green foliage in bouquets.
The asparagus fern thrives in dappled shade, although it can be acclimated to more light. Avoid direct, bright sunlight and try to maintain a warm temperature. If you have a shady porch outside, or a greenhouse, the indoor plants will likely respond with abundant growth over the summer. Asparagus ferns should be planted in loose, well-draining potting soil. Keeping an asparagus fern hydrated takes a little effort. This plant thrives on humidity. Mist the plant daily, focusing on the arching stems.?These plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from pets and children.
