Fern 'Sprengeri'

Sprengeri Asparagus Fern 🌿 has soft, feathery bright green foliage that spills and arches beautifully, giving shelves, hanging baskets, and porch planters a full, airy look. It does best in bright indirect light indoors or part shade outdoors in warm weather, where it can trail nicely without getting scorched. This plant is generally manageable and a bit tougher than it looks, but it still appreciates consistent watering and does not love staying bone dry for long. Pro tip: don’t be fooled by the fluffy look 💧—it is not a true fern, and it’s happiest when the soil is allowed to dry slightly between waterings rather than staying constantly soaked.
