1, how to prune in spring
Spring is a very important link in pruning asparagus. During this period, flower friends must remember the word "cruel" when pruning. Many people are reluctant to give up when pruning, for fear that asparagus will be cut bad or bald after pruning. In fact, correct pruning can not only promote the growth of asparagus, but also stimulate asparagus to open bags and send out "new bamboo shoots". But the branches at the back are covered with small bamboo shoots that have just exploded, not to mention how beautiful they are.
In spring, the old asparagus branches and some yellow dead branches should be cut off first. Because after a winter, the nutrition of many branches has been consumed and the state is not good. It is better to cut it directly, so that nutrients can flow back and supply new branches to grow.
There are also some yellow branches, which flower friends should pay attention to and prune frequently. Generally speaking, if asparagus leaves turn yellow, it is basically irreversible. It's better to just cut it off and save some nutrition.
2. How to maintain after pruning
Use organic fertilizer
After pruning, asparagus still needs to be well maintained to grow more buds. Asparagus is a fertilizer-loving plant. If flower friends want asparagus to grow faster, they must learn to use organic fertilizer. We can buy some decomposed chicken manure or sheep manure and bury it directly in the soil. Asparagus leaves with organic fertilizer are greener, and small bamboo shoots will explode more.
Don't have too much light.
Asparagus is a kind of flower that likes cool and ventilated environment, so it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight, and its leaves will easily turn yellow under too strong light. The most suitable place for asparagus to grow should be the window sill or study where the light in the north is not very strong, as long as there is scattered light.
Don't water it too much.
Although the aboveground part of asparagus is soft, the root of asparagus is still thick, so it is easy to cause the root of asparagus to rot. Asparagus doesn't spray water like other big-leaved plants. When maintaining asparagus, try not to spray water on the leaves, which is not easy to evaporate and rot.

Asparagus can actually be put on the shelf ~ after being raised, it can climb along the wall and grow into a big flower wall. In addition to applying organic fertilizer, some nitrogen fertilizer can also be used to promote leaf growth. For example, Olv 5 can be used in any cycle of plant growth, which helps plants thrive. We tie a shelf with asparagus in advance, and asparagus can climb up along the flower shelf.
As for the spring maintenance of asparagus, the key point is actually the word "cut". Don't feel bad when pruning. As long as it is cut correctly, the asparagus will grow as long as possible, and more small buds will gradually appear on the branches.
