Asparagus

Easily grown as a houseplant because it tolerates a wide range of temperatures, does not require high humidity and is easily pruned. Best grown in a well-drained, peaty potting mixture. Best sited in bright indirect light or filtered sun, but avoid direct hot afternoon sun which may cause the leaves to yellow. Water regularly from spring to autumn. Does not require winter dormancy, but appreciates a resting period with reduced watering over the winter months. Regular temperatures in summer and minimum 50 º F in winter. This plant is often taken outside for the growing season and brought back inside in early fall. Pinch back stem tips as needed to maintain plant form and promote dense foliage growth. If plant loses its attractive shape, stems may be cut back close to the soil level to regenerate.
