The Asparagus Fern is one of the more popular houseplants. Its pretty purple flowers attract birds and other wildlife, which is good news for you. The only bad news is that it needs a lot of water to stay healthy. This makes it a poor choice for low moisture areas or ones that are not in a climate that sees many hours of bright sunshine. It also would not be a good choice for most plants because of its slow growth rate.
These are just a couple of reasons why your asparagus fern terrarium may not do well in a humid area. You will need light if you want to get the plant to grow properly. Most houseplants need light, even some tropical plants. If your Asparagus Fern is not getting enough sunlight, you may consider placing some potted plants on top of the gravel that it rests on, or place small fluorescent lights over the gravel.
If you can get your Asparagus Fern to come out of its shell, it will love having a place in your house as a part of your living decoration. One way to accomplish this is to put some potted plants on top of the gravel or place small lights over the gravel. The Asparagus Fern will make a nice living decoration all by itself. One thing to watch for is watering your Asparagus Fern too much. This can cause the plant to wilt. Also, it can make the Asparagus Fern quite unstable.
If you are planning on housing your Asparagus Fern terrarium in a southern climate, you may find that your plant does not like the heat very much. This happens if your house is located where the majority of sunlight is blocked. For your Asparagus Fern to thrive, it needs the proper amount of sunlight and the proper temperature to survive. You should place the terrarium in an area where it gets indirect light.
If you are planning on housing your Asparagus Fern terrarium in a relatively cool area, you may find that your plant does not like the cooler temperatures very much either. A good way to keep your Asparagus Fern from turning yellow due to temperature changes is to provide it with a source of humidity. Plants that need more humidity than you do will have to be placed in a humidifier or something similar.
Most plants will grow better when watered directly. You can use a spray bottle to water the plants if you have a garden hose. If you do not have access to a spray bottle or you would prefer the less expensive way of using water, then make sure you keep the water near the plants. This will allow it to get evaporated rather than having it sit on the soil. If the plant starts to wilt, just water it again. If you have delicate leaves on your plant, you should mist the leaves with water at least twice a day, but this will depend on how much water your plant has lost.
In general, you should avoid putting any plants directly into water. If you have a container for your plant, you can put it into the water, but not all the way submerged. Plants that are in water have fragile leaves and they are more susceptible to drying out. Watering your plant directly will also help keep the humidity in the plant’s container up.
If you are planning on housing your Asparagus Fern terrarium in direct sunlight, you should avoid planting any other plants beside it. One idea is to place some High Pressure Sodium lights directly below your snake plant in order to give it the light it needs without blocking the sunlight from reaching the other plants. The idea is to allow the light from the lights to reach the other plants without drying them out. If you do choose to use other plants close to your Asparagus Fern terrarium, make sure they have nice dark green leaves on them so they will be able to absorb as much light as possible without burning. This is another way of ensuring that your plant does not go under too much stress from the high humidity.
