How to fertilize Climbing Asparagus Fern

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Climbing Asparagus Fern after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hey Greggers! Had to share this pic although it’s belated. I told my students I wanted to be a plant for Halloween, but I wasn’t feeling any of the costumes. They suggested I go as a plant mama. Yesssss! And the best part is that I got to carry Bitsy around all day. I also found some family 🤣 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #GregGang #Greggers

My fern has some yellow leaves. She is watered, and in good spot. In a window that is easy. Any advice ? #AsparagusFern

Yellowing stems- Ming fern #MingFern I purchased my ming fern 2.5 months ago in the pot that it’s in-which has a draining hole- and I haven’t repotted it. I’ve noticed the dirt is packed in there TIGHT. The stems have been turning yellow and brown. Some of the leaves close to the stem and middle are turning yellow. It’s already getting pretty low light and I am going to try to water it less. My question is, should I repot it with better draining soil or will that cause more damage to it? It has plenty of room in the pot. To describe the soil- I can’t really stick my finger in to check moisture and when I put my finger in the draining hole in the bottom, no soil comes out. Very different from my other plants. Swap out soil or other solution? Thank you!

This asparagus fern seems ok but has been having discoloration for awhile. Should I cut back to watering biweekly (as opposed to what the app suggests)? It’s in a south facing window about 8 feet back. Thanks! #AsparagusFern
