Exposure & location
Asparagus Sprengeri likes light but not direct sunlight. A soft and diffuse exposure helps maintain the density and bright green of its foliage.
- Bright indirect light to partial shade: ideal for a living room, kitchen, or bright office.
- Avoid direct sun which could dry out the delicate fronds.
- Ideal temperature: 18–25 °C, gentle and slightly humid atmosphere.
- Perfect for well-ventilated rooms, protected from cold drafts.
Verdeia Tip: place your plant near an east or north window, morning light is ideal to preserve its fine and luminous foliage.
Watering & care
Easy and tolerant, Asparagus Sprengeri requires little maintenance but appreciates regular humidity. Controlled watering and some misting are enough to keep its supple and fresh appearance all year round.
- Water about once a week, when the substrate is dry on the surface.
- Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
- In summer, increase frequency if the air is warm or dry.
- Mist the foliage to recreate tropical humidity and avoid dry tips.
- Add a mild liquid fertilizer every 3–4 weeks in spring and summer.
In winter, reduce watering and keep the plant away from direct heat sources. Its foliage remains fresh and dense even in cold periods, provided stagnant excess water is avoided.
Verdeia Advice
- Substrate: universal potting soil mixed with some perlite for optimal drainage.
- Repotting: every 2 years in spring to renew nutrients and promote growth.
- Drainage: provide a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot to avoid stagnant water.
- Pruning: remove yellowed stems at the base to stimulate regrowth.
- Misting: useful all year round, especially indoors with heating.
Asparagus Sprengeri likes stability: avoid moving it frequently to preserve its harmonious growth.
