Question
I just bought a plumosa fern, but I cannot find a lot of information about it.  I would like to use it as an indoor plant.  Do you have any idea about how big the plant might get?  I am not sure about its care.  Thank you!

Answer
Hi Susan,

Your asparagus fern should get lots of very bright, but indirect light. Locate it right in front of a north or east window, if possible. Keep it warm with temps above 60 degrees at all times. Water it thoroughly as soon as the surface of the soil feels dry to the touch. Move it into a larger pot only when the soil dries out a couple of days after a watering.

This is not an especially fast-growing plant, but it will grow faster if it gets lots of bright indirect light. The fronds are rarely longer than 18 inches and rarely need a pot larger than 10 inches.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
