Summary
Asparagus Fern is a flowering plant that produces small white flowers. The plant is native to Africa and Asia. It is an evergreen perennial that can grow 1 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide in the right conditions.

1. Light and Location
It grows well indoors or outdoors when planted in filtered sunlight or partial shade conditions.

2. Watering
This plant requires moist soil, but it is important not to overwater. The soil should be allowed to dry out in between watering. The plant prefers moderate temperatures between 45 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Temperature
The plant prefers moderate temperatures between 45 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. High-intensity heat sources, like radiators, are a death sentence for these plants.

4. Potting and Repotting
When Potting, extract the root system from the container. You will sense that it is ready to be extracted when the soil around the plant no longer feels loose. Prepare the new pot with fresh soil, gently split the roots, and place them in a new home. Take care not to damage or break any of the roots.

5. Toxicity and Common Pests
Asparagus fern is only mildly toxic to humans. It is perfectly safe for a home garden or a bathroom. However, prolonged skin contact can sometimes cause dermatitis. It is also mildly toxic to dogs and cats. This plant is prone to slugs, mites, mealybug, and aphids. Spray the plants at least twice a week in the heat of summer to protect them from these pests.
