Care Instructions

GROWING REQUIREMENTS:SOIL:Nutrient-rich & well-drained soil is key to the growth of Asparagus plant. Soil pH should range between 6 to 7 for asparagus to grow well. Soil temperatures for seed germination should be between 21-29°C(70-85°F), SPOT:Asparagus grows well in a bright sunny spot and can tolerate moderate shade, WATERING:Asparagus is a drought tolerant plant & can even grow well with rainfall as the only watering source. However, one should ensure moist growing soil for the plant to grow well as asparagus tends to extract moisture deep in the roots.

Hence it is advisable to remove the hand pull the weeds as & when they appear.
