If you want to grow asparagus well, the following four tips are indispensable. In summary, it likes semi-shade, moisture, thin fertilizer, looseness and breathability to prevent water accumulation.
- Light
Asparagus is a shade-tolerant plant. It likes to be placed in a semi-shady place or a place with sufficient scattered light to grow lush and green. It must not be exposed to the sun. The light should not be too strong. It should be exposed to a maximum of two or three hours of scattered light every day. That’s it.
