Description
Asparagus setaceus ‘Plumosus’, also known as Lace Fern, Climbing Asparagus, or Ferny Asparagus, is a delicate-looking yet surprisingly tough houseplant. Its feathery, bright green fronds add an airy, soft texture that works beautifully in hanging baskets, on shelves, or climbing up a support. Despite its name, it’s not a true fern — making it far more forgiving and adaptable indoors.
Plant Care
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but will tolerate light shade. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the fronds.
Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, letting the top centimetre dry out before watering again. Water less in winter when growth slows.
Temperature: Ideal range is 15–25°C; avoid temperatures below 10°C.
Potting: Best in our Thirst Trap mix for good drainage while holding a touch of moisture.
Hot tips: Mist-free zone — it enjoys average home humidity without fuss. Trim any yellowed fronds to keep it looking fresh, and give it a light feed in spring and summer.
Pet Friendly: No – toxic if ingested. 🚫🐾
