Asparagus Plumosus Nana (Asparagus fern)
Asparagus Plumosus Nana (Asparagus fern)
Who am I?
Hello, my name is Asparagus Plumosus Nana, but I am also known as the Asparagus plant or fern. My family consists of several hundred species; we are not all suitable as a houseplant, I am! My leaf is very small and soft and I have a very airy appearance!
Where do I come from?
My origins lie in South America, Central Africa and Southeast Asia. Despite my tropical origins, I love the colder Dutch weather, I feel completely at home here!
How big will I get?
I am a fast-growing species and can therefore reach a height of 1.5 meters!
How much do I want to drink?
My soil should always be slightly moist, without a layer of water at the bottom of my pot. When I don't get enough water, I lose my fresh green color, I droop and even turn brown. However, I can take a beating so don't give up right away! Make sure that this does not happen and otherwise please water quickly.
Where do I want to stand and what temperatures do I like?
In my natural habitat I grow on the bottom in the shade of other trees and plants. For this reason I don't like bright sunlight, so don't put me too close to the window and certainly not on the south! I can tolerate fairly cool temperatures, but I don't like to get colder than 10 degrees.
