My asparagus fern hasn’t been growing. I just reported him, hoping that he’ll thrive in his new environment! (Before and after photos)

Repot looks nice. I would actually cut some stems at the base of the plant to encourage the plant to put that energy elsewhere.

It gets crowded so I always feel it gets less efficient all bunched up. I would stare with the ones that aren’t growing straight and see how it does after that.

One more thing is if you can keep it closer to the window 10ft is pretty far

the pot is pretty, but looks way too large for this fern :/ i would be careful about overwatering

Asparagus ferns tend to grow up to three feet, so this is temporary.
