Asparagus Fern

                                    
What is the name of the hanging plants that give your surroundings that rich, beautiful look? It is the Asparagus Fern also known as the 'Asparagus densiflorous 'Sprengeri". This fern makes great hanging baskets both indoors and outdoors.They exhibit a fluffy. crisp green, needle like foliage that add a 'kick; to any decor. The Asparagus fern thrives best in a partial shaded area and moderate soil, which helps it maintain its dark rich color.. This fern is extremely easy to grow and is adaptable to a wide range of climate and soil conditions. Over wetting can cause the leaves to tune yellow then brown, which is a clear indication that the amount of water given to the plant should be adjusted downwards.Fertilizing once monthly maintains the health and beauty of the plant. Unlike most ferns the Sprengeri is more likely to produce white flowers, followed by bright red berries.
