GENERAL INFORMATION
- Asparagus setaceus, commonly known as common asparagus fern, lace fern, climbing asparagus, or ferny asparagus, is a climbing plant in the genus Asparagus.
- Despite its common name, the plant is not a true fern but has leaves that resemble one.
- Asparagus setaceus is a scrambling perennial herb with tough green stems, which may reach several meters in length.
- The leaves are actually leaf-like cladodes up to 7 mm long by 0.1 mm in diameter, which arise in clumps of up to 15 from the stem, making a fine, soft green fern-like foliage.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Asparagus ferns should be planted in loose, well-draining soil.

WATER REQUIREMENT
