I have an Asparagus fern that is over 80 years old. It belonged to my Grandmother and I am 79 years old. Can I claim a record? UPDATE. Although not looking it’s best still alive. Now 81. 2.10.24.
@colinc.8742 woww! Im super interested because I just bought one and I cant wait to see how it looks throughout the years when it grows. It doesn't seem possible to share pictures in the comments though If you can either post a video on your chanel or let me know on what media services you wouldn't mind connecting and sending a picture, it would be perfect😊 i would comment my account and then delete it
Really like the ease of this plant! I also have mine in a bathroom. It has an east facing window that is shaded by a tree outside. Its pulled back from the window on a counter and is still happy there. Love it 😊
I love these plants too. Even though, we moved and our bathroom doesn't have a window any more, but it feels perfectly fine in the living room, 2m away from the window
I’ve had great luck growing these outdoors in a pot or the ground with morning sun. They’re so happy 🌱 It’s a wonderful plant here in zone 8 for three seasons and comes back after Winter.
Can I grow it from cutting? one of the stems of my plant came out very long and I am thinking can I do it as like we do pothos propagation? Plz anyone answer
They don’t sell them in Australia because they consider it a toxic weed that can overtake your garden, so, just ask friends or family if they have it growing in their back yard, Maybe you can put a message out on Facebook, I’m sure someone will contact you, but if not just keep asking until you hit the jackpot. What state in Australia are from?
I water it so much that the water goes out of the drainage holes. The soil stays slightly moist, but not soggy wet. In winter, it can be once a week, in summer every day. It really depends in which conditions your plant is growing. There is no schedule.
Yes, you can, but keeping the right distance is very important. If the light is too close, the leaves can be burnt. These plants don't need bright light anyway. They grow well in semi-shade. Unless it's very dark and you feel that it's growing leggy or losing the leaves, maybe it's worth trying the growlight
@@AnnasViolets they started turning yellow , so I watched one video where it's said it needs more light so I bought this lamp but then I watched your video and you mentioned the vent and it's standing right above the vent so I moved to to the bathroom for some time
It is closed, but I open it sometimes to air it out. Especially in the beginning, I check the condensation on the glass. If it's too much, I leave the cover open for a couple of hours, until it comes to a balance, where it's not too wet and not too dry, and there is this natural cycle, where the condensation gets back into the soil and there is no need to water it
I hope it's not touching cold glass of the window. They like to be in a warm place. Spraying is very often not helping enough, as it is a very short-term solution. Have you tried a humidifier?
@@AnnasViolets thank you, mine is almost dead, I had it in the volcanic soil and it molded after two years. I am going to try it in the sandy no acid soil next time. :-)
@@jwsc9578 I think it will be much better. But maybe you can still save this one? Repot and put it in a small greenhouse, jar, terrarium for extra humidity?

We have a huge one on our landing inside and it has two or three super long vines reaching nearly all the way downstairs but has no leaves on the vines, why is this and how do I get leaves on the vines? :)
Hey, I think it will grow leaves when it finds a support. I think for these plants it may be the same as for hoyas. They grow vines, but leaves appear only when they find something to climb on
My asparagus plant was doing great but it was too big so I repotted and split in 3, after repotting they started to turn yellow (I gave them water and humidity, semi-shade) and now they don't seem to recover...
Take a shot 🥃 every time she says "however". 🙃 All kidding aside, this is very informative. There's not enough good videos on plants in RUclips in general.
Hey Thu Tran, your comment made my day 😁"However" and "actually" are two words I can't get rid of. Ah, there are so many things that need to be improved. At least, I'm glad it was informative. I liked your humour 🪴🪴
I have a few questions and I need help . Is it ok I keep it inside my room but with light goes inside my room in the morning and afternoon? And night time I use Ikea white light . Is it ok keep it inside the room with air conditioner on ?
Hi Benny, good questions. :) The sunlight in the morning is usually not strong, so it will be absolutely fine. Depending on your area, the light in the afternoon can be very bright. You need to feel it and move the plant, if needed. As for the night light, I don't use any special light. And they don't like cold currents of air, so I think air-conditioner can be harmful. ☘️ Hope these tips help

WHAAAT??? OMG! Yes, for sure! It's fantastic. 🌳
Yes

@@GabrielleHXx gladly, but not sure how to do it. Ps. add 2 more years to its age!

Thanks for this! My asparagus fern leaves were going yellow, so this helped.
Hey, I'm so glad the video was useful. How is it now? Has it recovered?☘️
I just got one. Am keeping my fingers cross, I love this type of plant.
Hi Lucha, I hope it will be fine. I always think about a forest, when I look at this plant :)
Super useful video, thanks! Have moved my plant to a brighter location and will see how it goes… 🤞
I will move it to a place with more sun. It was helpful advice. Thanks.
Thanks a lot! I'm happy the video was useful 🌿
Mine does better in full shade. Had it in the bathroom first of all and went yellow xxx
Can I grow it from cutting? one of the stems of my plant came out very long and I am thinking can I do it as like we do pothos propagation? Plz anyone answer
Thank you, very helpful 😊
You’re welcome 😊 I'm glad it was useful. Do you grow asparagus?
I can not get it in Australia , I asked where you live for that reason , I absolutely love them
I live in Germany. You can find them easily in Europe
They don’t sell them in Australia because they consider it a toxic weed that can overtake your garden, so, just ask friends or family if they have it growing in their back yard, Maybe you can put a message out on Facebook, I’m sure someone will contact you, but if not just keep asking until you hit the jackpot.

Do you water the soil until overflow or just wet the surface? Roughly how often?
I water it so much that the water goes out of the drainage holes. The soil stays slightly moist, but not soggy wet. In winter, it can be once a week, in summer every day. It really depends in which conditions your plant is growing. There is no schedule.
Hello, I have a question, can I use growlight (like artificial led lights special for plants) directly on it ? Or better not ?
Yes, you can, but keeping the right distance is very important. If the light is too close, the leaves can be burnt. These plants don't need bright light anyway. They grow well in semi-shade. Unless it's very dark and you feel that it's growing leggy or losing the leaves, maybe it's worth trying the growlight
@@AnnasViolets they started turning yellow , so I watched one video where it's said it needs more light so I bought this lamp but then I watched your video and you mentioned the vent and it's standing right above the vent so I moved to to the bathroom for some time
Ah, ok. Yes, if your bathroom doesn't have a window, it can struggle
@@AnnasViolets the problem is it does and I put it there and there is like too much light so I had to move it again 😂
Now you completely confused me :-D
Hi may i know if we can grow this Asparagus fern in water?
I have never tried it myself. I think it won't be very happy in water and may rot. If you have many, it's worth trying though
@@AnnasViolets, ok tks for ur advise.
Thank you!! So helpful
Glad it was helpful! 🪴
Hi, Can I grow the asparagus fern in a closed terrarium? Thanks
Absolutely. I planted asparagus and fittonia in mine: ruclips.net/video/i7VAJoRQvzE/видео.html
@@AnnasViolets Thanks for the update. I saw your terrarium plants but not sure if it was an open or a close concept.
It is closed, but I open it sometimes to air it out. Especially in the beginning, I check the condensation on the glass. If it's too much, I leave the cover open for a couple of hours, until it comes to a balance, where it's not too wet and not too dry, and there is this natural cycle, where the condensation gets back into the soil and there is no need to water it
Hi Anna my question is i have a asparagus coda di volpe from Italy is that the same method to take care of my plan. Thank you for your answer.
Hi Robert, honestly, I have never had this variety. I think the care will be similar
Nice video
Thanks
Mine was receiving direct sun for a while, should I cut the whole plant leaves off? I want to save the plant but it looks so brown
Are all the leaves brown or just the bottom old ones?
What if ti has yellow and brown leaves at the same time ?
Then definitely the conditions are not what the plant needs. Try maybe to change its place
Mine one has yellow though its next to a window, without direct sunlight and I spray it regularly :/
I hope it's not touching cold glass of the window. They like to be in a warm place. Spraying is very often not helping enough, as it is a very short-term solution. Have you tried a humidifier?
How to differentiate between brown and yellow ? I don’t know whether is brown or yellow
What percent humidity do you think? 70% or higher? Thanks!
Hi Kate, yes I think 70 is already pretty good. Otherwise, there may be mold, especially if the air ventilation in the room is not good
what kind of soil is good for the plant
It needs well-drained, even sandy soil, and will not grow well in extremely acidic soil
@@AnnasViolets thank you, mine is almost dead, I had it in the volcanic soil and it molded after two years. I am going to try it in the sandy no acid soil next time. :-)
@@jwsc9578 I think it will be much better. But maybe you can still save this one? Repot and put it in a small greenhouse, jar, terrarium for extra humidity?
Mine is not throwing any new shoots . Please help

Hi Andreea, sorry to hear that. It seems the roots may be damaged while repotting
What can you do in this case
Cut off the dead leaves. It should bounce back.
