I was keeping my Asparagus Fern short but I’ve decided to let her stretch out a bit and see what happens.

Ferns aren’t my fav but this is just beautiful 🤩

I have the same plant and I was astonished to find out that it’s not actually classified as a fern, but a member of the asparagus family. I guess that makes sense given the name.

Ohhhh that totally makes sense

Thanks everyone. I’ve never owned a plant and I bought my first on my 54th birthday two months ago. I’m learning so much and your support is so generous.

That’s gorgeous! 🌿🌿

(Where I’m at- asparagus fern means a different, less delicate plant )
