Plumosa Fern (Asparagus Fern) Indoor Care Guide

I just bought a plumosa fern but can't find much information. I want to use it indoors. How big does it get? What care does it need?

Expert Advice

Your asparagus fern needs lots of very bright, indirect light—right in front of a north or east window if possible. Keep temperatures above 60°F. Water thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry. Repot only when soil dries out a couple of days after watering.

It's not especially fast-growing, but bright indirect light speeds growth. Fronds rarely exceed 18 inches, and it rarely needs a pot larger than 10 inches.
