Asparagus Meyeri

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Avoid too much direct sun, as it can scorch the fronds.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top of the soil feels dry, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the fronds or place the pot on a humidity tray if your indoor air is dry.
• Soil: Well-draining, lightweight, and slightly acidic soil. A general potting mix with some added perlite works well.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Skip or reduce fertilizing in the winter months.
• Pruning: Trim yellow or dead fronds to keep the plant looking tidy. Regular cleaning of the fronds will help maintain its appearance.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by spider mites or aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
• Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets, making it a safer option for households with animals.
