1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Asparagus Fern
Botanical Name: Asparagus setaceus
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Not available
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0441
Alternative Names:
سبراكس ناعم
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Asparagaceae
Genus: Asparagus
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to southern Africa (Mozambique, South Africa) and Madagascar; widely naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide as an ornamental and groundcover.
4. Visual Characteristics
Delicate, fine-textured cladodes (leaf-like stems) forming soft, feathery fronds on arching or trailing stems; small, inconspicuous white to pale pink flowers appear sporadically, followed by round red berries.
5. Size & Dimensions
Indoor height typically 60–90 cm (2–3 ft); spread up to 60 cm (2 ft); stems may trail or climb 1–2 m (3–6 ft) when given support or ample space.
6. Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates partial shade; avoid direct sun which can scorch the delicate fronds.
7. Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; water when the top 2–3 cm (1 in) of soil feels dry. Reduce frequency in winter but do not allow the potting mix to dry out completely.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix enriched with organic matter. Ensure the container has drainage holes. Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound, dividing clumps if desired.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature range 15–24 °C (60–75 °F); avoid exposure below 10 °C (50 °F). Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%); mist regularly or use a humidity tray to prevent brown tips.
10. Fertilization
Apply a balanced, water‐soluble fertilizer (e.g., 20‐20‐20) every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Suspend feeding in fall and winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Care Level: Easy to moderate. Prune regularly to remove yellowed or dead fronds and maintain a compact shape. Monitor moisture and humidity to prevent stress.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagate by division when repotting: separate clumps of roots and replant. Can also be grown from seed or tip cuttings placed in moist potting mix or water until roots develop.
13. Common Problems
Yellowing fronds from overwatering or poor drainage; brown leaf tips from low humidity or fluoride in water; pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects; root rot if kept overly wet.
14. Benefits & Uses
Highly ornamental for hanging baskets, shelves, and tabletops. Its soft texture adds airiness to interior plant displays. Reported to help improve indoor air quality by filtering pollutants.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Contains sap that can cause mild skin irritation. Toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested, leading to vomiting and diarrhea. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
