Asparagus setaceus

Can you take a cutting by snipping a piece off? #cutting #fern

Worth a try Emma but use a healthy new shoot and see what happens. Good luck :))

I’d be surprised. You need to divide the plant.

@brightcolours that’s how I done the one in the photo. That was a section. But the one clipping my mum took, looks healthy. But we’ll see ;)

“Propagation from cuttings is a relatively simple process for plants that have the capability to grow roots from stems, leaves or buds. However, asparagus fern develops from tuberous roots that grow just below the surface of the soil, so cuttings taken from the plant will not root. Instead, the asparagus fern is easily propagated by dividing and replanting the tubers. You can also plant seeds harvested from red berries that develop on the plant from summer to winter.”
