Growing Non-GMO Asparagus Fern Meyerii Flower Seeds

Meyerii Asparagus Fern is popularly sown both indoors and outdoors, and can be kept perennially as an indoor houseplant. Seeds can be sown directly just after the frost or anytime indoors. Germination can be slow. To speed up germination, seeds can be scarified and soaked. To do this, use sandpaper to lightly rough up the seed coating and then soak them in room-temperature water for 24 hours. Generally, plants need lots of water and thrive on the edges of streams and waterfalls in the wild. Bright filtered light and lots of water will result in fast growth and frequent repotting needs.

Transplant the seedlings once they have true leaves and good roots. Asparagus Fern plants rarely bloom and are prized primarily for their foliage. Some foliage dieback is normal and can safely be removed. Fertilize only during the summertime when they are actively growing. Allow the plant to go dormant during the winter by reducing water and fertilizer. Protect the plants from intense, direct sun for long hours. In the winter when indoor air can be dry, mist the plants to simulate humidity and prevent dry tips.
