How to fertilize Climbing Asparagus Fern
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

Started Browning? there are some of the old leafs that are kind of becoming crispy and yellowish, this plant suffered a big change, I bought it from a place that sold them outside in the cold, and now it's in my bathroom so it could be that or maybe something else #AsparagusFern

Just spent an hour emergency repotting my foxtail fern because it had ants, I’ve never repotted a plant with tuberous roots before!! So many roots! I didn’t know my poor plant was so root bound I’ll definitely be checking up on my foxtail ferns more in the future. But I got BOTH my foxtail ferns repotted and they’re much happier I’m sure. 😅 I lost quite a few of the bulbs during repotting and I wonder if I can do anything with them..? hopefully my plants didn’t lose too many, there still seemed to be quite a lot in there. (first two pics are roots, third is the bulbs that were lost, last is a photo of the plants all potted up with some extra room to grow now.) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #BeforeAndAfter #FloweringPlants #FernFriends #FoxtailFern #PlumeAsparagus

Root rot or stress? I had to repot both of my foxtail ferns recently as the terrible nursery pots I got them in were infested with ants (AND the plants were so root bound there was hardly any soil left.. what was left was holding onto water way too long) and this one has been yellowing quicker since. I already had concerns about root rot since the nursery pots held onto water for so long, but there was so smell or obvious rotting while I was repotting (The bulbs were soft, but a lot of them actually seemed dry.. all the worst ones fell off too) so I’m wondering if this is actually root rot or if it’s just stress from the move? Maybe both? Help! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #FloweringPlants #FernFriends #FoxtailFern #PlumeAsparagus #RootRot #NewPotWhosThis #help #helpneeded
