Looking to buy an asparagus plant? This houseplant is also called the Asparagus ornamental, but unfortunately, it doesn't produce asparagus like an asparagus plant.

The Asparagus Densiflorus can also be used as a hanging plant, as the older branches will droop.
The Asparagus Densiflorus as a houseplant or hanging plant
The Asparagus houseplant is a decorative plant with a fern-like appearance. It was originally considered a fern because it also has feathery leaves. In the case of ornamental asparagus, the stems have taken over the function of the leaves. Easy to care for, it's suitable for those with less green thumbs who also enjoy greenery in their homes. Asparagus plants usually remain flowerless, but if they do flower under favorable conditions, they hide their small white flowers beneath the leaves. Smaller varieties grow fairly quickly into beautiful, full plants. Small, red berries may appear, which are poisonous. The plumes of the ornamental asparagus are finely branched and therefore soft to the touch. For this reason, the plumes are often used as greenery in bouquets.
Asparagus care
Place the Asparagus ornamental in partial shade, out of direct sunlight. This makes it ideal for a dark location. It prefers a temperature between 18 and 22°C. Water it in a saucer or decorative pot. You can also fertilize it once a month. Asparagus prefers high humidity but prefers not to be sprayed or dusted.
