Plumosa + Asparagus Fern Indoor Care Tips!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- I have a super short video today on the Plumosa or Asparagus Fern! I got this plant well over a year ago and it's proven to be way tougher than it's confusing Fern name. Because it's not actually a FERN. I know, I'm lost as well. I hope this short baby video helps you along on your not-fern journey. Please comment with questions and thanks for watching!

Love the video especially the "don't pressure me."
Fun video. Love your delivery and personality. Thank you.
Oh my gosh I need to find a friend in my life with a personality like yours. Your energy is so great lol
Girl you are hilarious. thanks for the advice as well. Just picked up one of these cuties and love her so much already. 🥰
thank you for this!! this is such a fun & informative video, my plumosa is really going thru it rn and this helped me a lot!
Thanks for the information, I’ve actually have seen one about 10 metres long , growing up a tree, and it gives berries as well, lovely plant 👍👍👍
love your humor
Haha you funny 🤣 thanks for sharing plant info n your vibes ☀️ I actually have had one of these for years and didn't know it's not a fern. And I've been meaning to look up it's light and water preferences all this time cuz I kinda been guessing, so your video is very helpful. A very resilient, chill plant indeed. 🌿
Thank you for watching!! 😊 so glad you enjoy them, I know it’s so weird that it’s called a fern but is not a fern at all?! Quite Confusing.. lol 😂
This was excellent.
I really enjoy your videos. I love plants too, so always looking for better ways to take care of them. I am now subscribed.
Thank you!! So glad you enjoy 😊
I love love the look of these, I am the worst at keeping mine happy though. He did well in direct light, then I moved and now he’s pissed again. I will win his trust again one day :D
haha they tend to throw fits when you move them around 😬 but they definitely do better in some direct light! You will win him over again, patience is key 😂
Awesome~~~I just got this one!!!
Wooo! It’s a great/easy plant - you’ll love it when it starts pushing new growth 🌿
Wow thanks so much for the video and information! I recently acquired a lil baby one and I really thought it was just a feathery ferny boi. I am on my way to go move that prince into a brighter location!
I’m so glad this helped! I know I thought they were ferns for the longest time but they are quite the opposite weirdly! 😊
FINALLY!
Thank You! Fun and Informative. Now I have to go buy "Frondie" (my name for him/her) living at Safeway right now.
I'll be in touch. 😉
Yesss go get Frondie!! They’re the best 😄 so glad you enjoyed the video thank you for watching !
You're so damn funny, love your energy! I managed to save my plumosa because I grew green fingers from nowhere a few years ago. This year with fertilization for the first time it started shooting out new "branches", and the last addition is a 1m tall guy that very shamelessly shot up in a matter of days and climbed & circled up my blinds-string. So I guess he doesn't want to move anytime soon.. I'll be more mindful with not overwatering after your warning, thank you!
Aww thank you!! 😂 I’m so glad yours is living it’s best life and thriving ❤️ this warms my heart haha
Hi there, just wanted to say I enjoy your videos and this plant is really lovely! Interestingly plumosa is Spanish for feathery and that's definitely what the leaves look like... Fun feathery looking leaves 😀🌿
Aww thank you I’m so glad you enjoy! And wow that makes perfect sense! They are definitely feathery looking, I’ll be sure to drop that fun fact from now on haha 😂
I'm glad 😁
Awesome video!! Btw how do you propagate this plant? I’m curious:)
loved this video!! so helpful. unfortunately about 3 weeks ago i left mine alone for a month while i was traveling and i came back to it being completely brittle and bone dry😭😭 turned almost yellowish brown:( ive been trying to revive it ever since without overwatering it and it seems to keep growing but it is still a dark yellow color😓 i cut off some of the most brown stems so the plant wouldnt be putting more energy into those dead parts- but how can i get it back to being green again? or is it too far gone.
They are indeed such a chill plant to have around! :3 Well said everything you did!
I even overwatered mine, but it still survived ! And its pushing out new growth since the beginning of summer. which is crazy, its almost November and it shot out half a meter long new leaf over the past two weeks! THe heck!!!? But yeah, its a great grower, and at some point in September i also saw that it starter shooting new branches out of existing leafs!? I was so surprised! :3
And yeah, the roots are much thicker than those fine thin ones fern have. so yeah. :3
They’re so chill! I was expecting a finicky plant but they’re pretty bullet proof ! I love watching the news leaves come in too, congrats on so much growth 👍🌿
@@Macksimize100 Thanks! Lets hope ours grow huge! Then we will have our own lil' bamboo forests with imaginary pandas rolling around. :3
Lol that’d be dope!
Ahh!!!! You are going to saveeeee my plumosaaaaa thank you ☺️☺️☺️ also, is spraying the plumosa daily bad? I read they like to be sprayed 3-4 times early morning?
hello! So glad the info helped! 😁 I wouldn't say spraying it is BAD but the Plumosa fern isn't like other ferns (since it's technically not a fern at all!) and doesn't need as high of humidity as others. So you really don't have to spray them if you don't feel like it haha
Hi, I am from Croatia and we have these plants everywhere. When we go to pick asparagus in the spring, they grow right next to this ferny bush. This plant I usually see in shady areas, at the base of trees. They can live in dry soil for a while, as it gets really hot here in summer.
I bet you have the most beautiful plants in Croatia! This fern grows in my Grandma’s yard too, so pretty! 😊 I’m actually part Croatian so it’s cool to speak with someone who’s actually from there! ⭐️
@@Macksimize100 Wow cool! What a coincidence you're part Croatian as well. 😊 And yes we have a lot of cool plants in Croatia. Not sure if you've ever been there, but you should visit. 😊
I’ve never been but my brother and I are trying to plan a trip out there in the next couple years hopefully! 🤞
@@Macksimize100 Nice! I hope you will like it!
Hahahaha dude you're funny! Totally love your sense of humor! Glad I found you! I have a teeny tiny one I got from Lowes and been researching since. I heard they light slightly acidic soil.... so... gonna experiment with that. Just gonna use some diluted coffee grounds. Have you got a maiden hair fern?? Ugh.
Thank you so much!! So glad you like the videos ☺️ - Yes the Plumosa Fern isn't quite as picky as typical ferns but definitely try out the coffee grounds and let me know if you notice a change! I'd be curious. But YES I do have the infamous Maidenhair fern! My latest video I posted last week is all about that queen lol
Hello
Very informative video
Learn somuch from your videos
Thanks for sharing
Stay tuned
You say Fish fertilizer, what kind, and what do you use exactly? I recently picked one of these guys up and I repotted because the plant was pushing roots from the bottom. I used indoor potting mix for this plant, I realize after watching this video that I overwatered so I'm gonna try and let the plant dry out. I'm kind of a beginner myself with plants but I was just wondering what I should do?
I use this brand called “Alaskan Fish Fertilizer” - I see it at Home Depot every time and you can also order it on amazon if you’re hunkering down! 🙂 I put about a tsp in a gallon of water and give it to my plants every other watering cycle in their growing season (spring/summer) - but be warned - the fertilizer smells pretty bad...! So make sure when you water, you allow the water to run out the bottom to filter the fertilizer through a bit more - hope this helps!!
They do grow outside like a weed here in Southern CA... LOL I have one out front planted by the previous homeowner.
They DO - I see them vining all the way up this fence by a house near my place, no issues in full sun! lol
Yes my grandma had one in her back yard when I was a kid it kept climbing up to the roof.
Same! Wish I could go back in time and say noooo...don’t put it in the ground!! 😝
I just saw this in a store and want them to be a big part of my new place...to me, they have a japanese garden look to them. Not sure how to best display them..I don't really want them to even get too big..just a few small ones maybe. PS you're quite cute/funny.
💖💖
Can this type of fern put off a strange odor, especially at night?
I don't think so, that might be more of a soil issue? Perhaps too much water - sometimes it starts smelling musty
Hi we have a huge asparagus fern flourishing on our landing but it has now 2 extremely long vines going nearly down to the first floor but with no leaves on them, why is this?
Edit: and how/ can you propagate this plant?
This is actually a vine! So makes sense it’s spreading its branches out. I have one growing outside my building that does the same thing. You have to separate from the roots if you want to propagate. I’ve never been able to get cuttings to root unfortunately 😬
I've just read it's looking for support, once provided, it will sprout leaves
Mine looks like it’s dying it’s always yellow and brown
Oh no! sounds like you may be overwatering? They tend to enjoy drying out between watering - let me know if that sounds like the problem!
Could it be over fertilized?
good video but can only see the top part of the plant
I like you :D
Lol thank you!! ☺️
Your are incredibly funny
its from Asia.
Hi lady I am Arabian fans thank you for interested but you should be Arab translation in your video please
Thanks
Sesu priya with love from india ♥️. Who are waiting this video from india ?
I just bought another one. Killed my first lil guy..well my cat did but I dont think I helped knowing now what I just learned Lol I def treated it as a fern since it was labeled as such. Also I have an asparagus fern (or least I thought it was) but he dont look anything like this guy. Hes in a hanging basket and his stems are like 3ft long and pine like look for the leaves lol best way to describe it.
Yess I know the Asparagus Fern you're talking about! They are weirdly interchangeable names on the internet, I think everyone has them mixed up lol - it's even trickier when it's called a fern and isn't actually one! I'm sure this one will be a success though 👌
Asparagus ferns are super toxic to cats (and dogs)... Be careful.
I’ve killed 2 of those
I know the pain
Whatever you do, don’t plant it out in the garden. It gets covered in brutal thorns & goes feral. Nasty! In a pot they are lovely. 🙂
So true! We have some “feral” ones growing outside and they really transform haha
Oh so true!
I got a couple permanent scars and my arm last time I was pruning my hedge.
Reached in to selectively snip a branch and didn’t see this was entangled in there, felt a sting and thought it was a bee...yanked my arm back and it embedded in my skin and tore 😫
It’s in so many spots in my yard, grows up the trees. Ugh.
I’ve dug out at 3-4 huge tangled messes of rootballs with my pitchfork. There’s still twice that many to go. You cut it...It keep coming back like a horror movie killer 😄
It’s so pretty it’s a shame is so invasive and difficult to control and it’s nasty thorns.
Not part of the lily family but rather bamboo
