fern asparagus · Asparagus setaceus
Also known as: asparagus fern; feathery asparagus; lace fern

Common asparagus fern is an adaptable houseplant, forgiving to some neglect, making it easy to care for. It flourishes in bright, indirect light, and requires water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Key special care points include avoiding direct sunlight to prevent foliage burn, and providing enough humidity to mimic its native tropical environment. Over time, common asparagus fern may require occasional trimming to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.

Watering: Keep soil slightly moist, increase water in summerSunlight: Partial shadeSkin allergen, fruits harmful if eaten. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling]
