Asparagus Fern Pruning: Hard Cutback Tolerated

Asparagus fern (not a true fern) handles aggressive pruning well.

Pruning Options

• Reduce size: Remove entire outer fronds at base.
• Shorten length: Cut long fronds back by half.
• Timing: Anytime; spring ideal.

Winter Care Indoors

• Sunniest spot possible (reduces needle drop).
• Water when top 1″ dry.
• Humidity helps: Pebble tray or humidifier.
• Expect some needle drop in low light—normal.

Your plant will regrow vigorously from the crown.
