    Description

    Often called a “fern” but actually a member of the asparagus family, Asparagus plumosus (Asparagus setaceus) forms clouds of delicate, feathery cladodes on wiry climbing stems. Trained up a teepee or small trellis, it creates a soft, vertical accent with a light, romantic texture. Indoors it’s prized for its forgiving nature and elegant habit; in frost‑free climates it can climb and scramble through bright, dappled shade outdoors. Tiny white flowers may appear on mature plants, followed by glossy berries (ornamental but toxic).

    Care Tips

    Follow these guidelines for best results
    • Planting instructions iconPlanting InstructionsUse a snug but not tight container with drainage. Install a teepee/trellis at planting. Pot in a rich, well‑draining mix (e.g., 2 parts high‑quality potting soil, 1 part perlite, 1 part fine bark or coco coir). Repot when roots fill the pot.
    • Soil moisture iconSoil MoistureKeep evenly moist during active growth. Water when the top 1 inch (2–3 cm) feels dry. Avoid waterlogging; reduce frequency in winter.
    • Soil type iconSoil TypeLoose, well‑aerated, and draining; slightly acidic to neutral (pH ~6.0–7.0). Add perlite/bark for structure and drainage.
    • Humidity iconHumidityPrefers 40–60%+. Tolerates average indoor humidity but fronds are fuller with added humidity from a tray or humidifier.
    • Pruning iconPruning InstructionsWear gloves. Cut yellowed or leggy canes back to the base; thin to maintain airflow and shape. Tie new shoots to the teepee as they elongate.
    • Winter care iconWinter CareProvide the brightest light possible indoors; keep 60–75°F (16–24°C), minimum 50–55°F (10–13°C). Water less often but don’t allow the root ball to fully dry.
    • Planting depth iconPlanting DepthSet the rootball so the existing crown is level with the soil surface. Do not bury stems; leave 1–2 cm headspace for watering.
    • Fertilization iconFertilizationFeed every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at 1/4–1/2 strength, or use a gentle slow‑release granule. Hold fertilizer in low light or during winter.
    • Special care iconSpecial CareProvide support for climbing; rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Rinse foliage occasionally to remove dust. Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. In mild climates this plant can self-seed—contain berries and avoid in-ground planting where invasive.
    Safety: All parts—especially berries—are toxic if ingested by pets and humans. Handle with care and keep out of reach. This plant is commonly called a fern but is not a true fern.
