Emerald fern, emerald feather, and lace fern are some of the other names for the Asparagus Fern plant. Asparagus sprengeri is the most popular variety.

When the top layer of potting mix has dried up, water them; this Emerald Fern retains water in its tuberous roots and does not require frequent watering, especially in shady location. From Spring until Autumn, keep the soil wet with room-temperature water, but don’t let the plant sit in it. Allowing the compost to dry out is not a good idea. In the winter, avoid overwatering.

Moderate humidity and misting on a regular basis will help to encourage healthy development. This house plant liikes to grow in 12°C-25°C and try to avoid low temperature.
