Foxtail ferns (Asparagus densiflorus), also known as asparagus ferns, are evergreen perennials that feature vertical plumes and weeping foliage. They have a clumping habit that reaches 2-3 feet high by 3 feet wide. With its unique appearance and ability to be planted indoors and outdoors, this plant has become a favorite in the gardening community.

Although this plant often has "fern" in its name, you will be surprised to learn that it is not a fern. Asparagus Fern will propagate from seeds and does not produce spores like typical ferns. However, gardeners commonly associate it with ferns because of its clumping habit and soft, green foliage. The asparagus fern is a member of the lily family and is related to the asparagus vegetable. This plant is not edible asparagus and should not be consumed by humans or pets.

This plant is adorned with tiny white flowers in the spring, and soon after, red berries follow behind them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the flowers or red berries will appear yearly. Be careful, the red berries are toxic to humans if consumed, but birds are attracted to them and will eat them, bringing life and movement into your garden for years to come.

Asparagus Fern is a shade lover thriving in dappled sunlight, full shade, but never full sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. Overexposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight will lead to yellowed foliage and potentially the death of the plant. This Fern grows best in part shade, allowing the perennial plants to grow lush habits and emerald green foliage. However, they can also be grown in part sun, resulting in the growth of lighter green but healthy foliage. A fully mature plant averages 2-3 feet in height and 3 feet in width.

Foxtail Fern Care

Do foxtail ferns like sun or shade?

Despite looking like a tropical plant and having hardiness zones in subtropical regions, these ferns is more of a shade lover. Plant your new fern in locations that receive filtered, partial shade in east-facing gardens or windows. Morning sun is no problem, but avoid bright, hot afternoon sun, which will damage the plant. These ferns can also tolerate full shade, but it may cause the leaves to emerge in lighter shades of green.

Are Foxtail Ferns Cold Hardy?

Foxtail Fern is tolerant to temperatures as low as 15°C and thrives in USDA Zones 9-11. If you live outside USDA Zone 9, you can use them indoors as a houseplant or plant it outdoors in a container that can be brought indoors and overwintered.

Place your potted plants indoors in a container or hanging baskets near a bright sunny windowsill. Keep your soil moderately moist to prevent your foxtail fern turning yellow, but don't drench your plant, or you'll get root rot.

Watering Ferns

The Foxtail plant enjoys moist, well-draining potting soil that is rich in nutrients. Water weekly during the spring and summer and allow the top layer of soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot. Foxtail Ferns' tuberous roots store water, and too much water may not be absorbed quickly by the ornamental plant. In the winter, reduce watering to once every two weeks.

When to Prune Foxtail Ferns

Whether used as an indoor plant, in hanging baskets, or in the garden, the foxtail fern's weeping habit requires only maintenance pruning. However, mature plants can become thin and leave behind bare stems. You can remove these bare stems by snipping them where the foliage stops on the plume.

These ferns can be divided each year and repotted in the spring. Start by removing the plant from its pot. Cut from the top of the rootball through the thick roots to the base of the rootball. Use a sharp knife to avoid tearing the roots. Repot the plants and water them as necessary.

Fertilizing Ferns

Throughout the growing season, spring to fall, you can fertilize this ornamental plant if you find that it needs it. Add houseplant or tropical plant food to wet soil once a month. Avoid adding plant food to dry soil, which may lead to root damage. Organic compost is another excellent way to boost your fern.

Where to Use Foxtail Ferns

Your USDA Zone will dictate whether or not to plant indoors or to find a permanent spot for it in your landscape. Since Foxtail Fern thrives in USDA Zones 9-11, gardeners in this area can plant it in shade gardens, and use it on the patio, or as an indoor plant.

For those in USDA Zones 8 or lower, we recommend planting in hanging baskets or containers that can be moved inside your home easily. The fragrant tiny white flowers and dense foliage plumes will provide visual interest for any setting. Be sure to place them by a bright window that will allow the indoor plant to thrive.

Tumbler and mug heat press
Style: Purple-30oz
Easy to set up and operate, heats up fast, and works beautifully. I sublimated 2 coffee mugs and they came out nice. It came with a small package of sublimation paper, heat tape, and a pair of very small heat-proof gloves. Gloves are needed to handle hot items, so you may want to get a larger pair. I have small hands and they barely fit me. But the heat press works perfectly.

Barely qualifies as a product
Style: 12x10
This thing is a FAIL on so many levels that I can't even begin to describe how bad it is. I bought the 12 x 15 press because I thought it would be fun to have a smaller press at the house that I could use to knock out things like mouse pads and coasters when I didn't feel like going to my studio and using my other machines. What a mistake. Uneven heat is just one of the issues. The biggest problem is that when you pull the arm down instead of the springs, adjusting to any height that might come from a coaster or a mouse pad, the whole heat plate just gets pushed back in the pylon, while at the same time, the platform holding the unattached rubber plate tilts down at the front, causing it to sit crooked and not work. It overheats the pieces in the back and under heats the pieces in the front because of the gap it creates.. It's awful . The timer didn't work . The temperature begins to go down as soon as you start applying the heat plate. It ruined everything it touched . Lesson learned - I've been in this business for a long time and I should've known better but I thought for the light duty minimal requirements that I wanted this would probably be OK but it's dismal . It's beyond dismal - buyer beware - don't say I didn't warn you.

Great machine but...
Style: 5in1-15x15-Blue
Great machine for the price. Served it's purpose well but after about 4 months of moderate use, the control box malfunctioned. OK, cool. Let's replace the control box. Easy, right? Wrong. You won't find a replacement here on Amazon. Maybe not anywhere on the internet. Luckily the warranty has me taken care of. Purchase with caution and know that this control box has a 5 pin input that you're not gonna be able to replace if it breaks or malfunctions.
