Foxtail Asparagus is named after the fox-like tail and is a perennial herb of the genus Asparagus in the Liliaceae. The plants are clustered and the stems are erect and grow 30 cm to 60 cm in height. They are slightly curved but do not sag. The leaves are scaly or stalky, with 3 to 4 pieces growing in a radial pattern. The leaves and stems are bright green. Small flowers white, with fragrance. Berries are globules, initially green, bright red after maturation, shiny skin with black seeds inside. Foxtail Aspartus is native to South Africa. It prefers a warm and humid environment. It can grow normally in semi-shade and sunny places. It can be kept in the bright light of the interior for a long time. From April to October, it can be put on outdoor maintenance. When it is high in summer, it should be shaded properly to prevent sun exposure. The optimal temperature for growth is 15°C to 25°C. The water should be fully watered during the growth period. Because the roots are stoutly developed, there are more nutrients and moisture in the roots and they have a certain ability to resist drought. Occasionally forgoing watering does not have a big impact on plant growth, but it cannot be long-term lack of water, otherwise it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. The fact that the air is too dry is also an important cause of yellowing and shedding of the leaves. Therefore, we must regularly spray water on the plants to keep the air moist and make the leaves green and pleasant. The foxtail aspartic fertilizer is applied once a week and the cooked thin liquid fertilizer is applied once a week during the growing season. In winter, there must be sufficient sunlight. When the minimum temperature is not less than 12°C, it can be watered and fertilized normally so that the plants will continue to grow. If the water is controlled to be absent, fertilization will be stopped and the plants will be dormant, and they will be allowed to overwinter from 8°C to 10°C. Every year in the early spring, change the basin once. When you change the pot, you must cut out some of the massive roots, and cut too many or too old yellow leaves from the base to promote the emergence of healthy and beautiful new strains. The potted soil requires loose fertility and incorporates a decomposed cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. When the potted soil is not too full, the pot edge should be kept to avoid excessive growth of the root system, so that the roots protrude from the pot surface, affecting watering. The breeding of Asparagus foxtail can be carried out in combination with wadding. It can also be sown and propagated. Seeds should be harvested with sowing, otherwise the germination rate will be affected. Foxtail asparagus plant fluffy foxtail, evergreen, is a strange and interesting ornamental plants, often for foliage cultivation, layout hall, bedroom, balcony, etc., quite unique.
