Originally originally from South Africa. since the 19th century, Asparagus Fern has been considered as one of the most popular plants which you could grow and take care of in your own house. It is relatively easy to take care of and it is not that demanding at all compared to some other indoor plants. Asparagus Fern is not technically a fern, but a type of Lily producing small, white flowers that bloom from summer to autumn, with the addition that it could also produce very tiny red berries.



Seed Germination

  • Soak seeds in a cup of tap water for 24 hours. Do not allow to dry out before sowing.
  • Prepare compost mix - ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite (which I sell in the Accessories section of my eBay shop) 
  • Microwave a compost mix for 2 minutes to kill bacteria
  • Allow compost to cool
  • Water compost and wait 10 minutes for any excess to drain away
  • Fill small clean pots or trays with the compost mix
  • Make small holes using a pencil about 1/4 inch deep. 
  • Drop 2 seeds in each hole
  • Cover holes with compost
  • Asparagus ferns like warm temperatures (25C to 30C) and down to 20C at night to germinate optimally 
  • Ideally use a heat mat or heated propagator with trays covered with plastic or film but with air holes open). Nut any warm, bright indoor location out of direct sun should be fine.
  • Water carefully ensuring not to wet or dry - misting with a bottle works well.
  • Germination should take around 3 to 4 weeks 
  • If both seeds in a hole germinate, pinch out the weaker looking one.
  • Once germinated, Asparagus ferns prefer bright locations and love moist air  - so bathrooms and kitchens are popular.
  • Mist leaves with water regularly
  • Pot on as required, but always into a pot that is only slightly bigger than the previous one.
There are loads of guides out there on the internet that you might want to check out on how to keep these plants healthy and how to multiply them.
