Asparagus Fern
Our houseplant friends never forget their roots, and they’ll always be the most content when their surroundings mimic their natural environment. This spiky show off is native to South Africa and loves a bit of shade and a bit of sun, so bright indirect light is the perfect combo.
An interesting fact about the asparagus fern is that she’s actually a bit of a poser – she’s more Lily than fern and you wouldn’t want a mouthful of her feathery leaves. Full rays are a definitely one to avoid, because this spoiled lady is prone to sunburn. An easy grower, once she starts to look too big or roots make their way out of the soil you’re going to want to buy her a bigger home pronto.

If you gave this girl a bottle she’d drink it in minutes, but she’s not unfamiliar with drought so if you’re a bit forgetful she won’t hold it against you. Yellow leaves are a sure sign of thirst and they’ll start to pop up if she goes without a sip all week.
Unlike her namesake this houseplant is definitely not delicious sautéed in butter so don’t get inventive with your dinner choices. Keep her firmly away from pets and children and everyone will be happy.
