Sprengeri Fern Plant FAQ

In a 1 Gallon nursery pot, our Sprengeri Fern is shipped about 10″–12″ tall overall. It naturally grows outward into a clumping shape that creates a full, feathery mound. With time and care, it can be transplanted into larger containers to expand its size.

Yes, the Sprengeri Fern adapts very well to indoor spaces with bright, indirect light. It thrives on shelves, tables, or window ledges where filtered sunlight is available. Just provide humidity and regular misting to keep fronds lush.

No, the Sprengeri Fern (Asparagus aethiopicus) is toxic to cats and dogs, especially if they eat the berries. Ingesting it can cause stomach upset, so it’s best to keep the plant out of reach of pets. Always contact a veterinarian if your pet consumes part of the plant.

Sprengeri Ferns grow as clumping plants and typically stay contained in their pot. They produce new fronds from the base, giving them a fuller look over time. Outdoors, they may spread slightly in warm climates but are generally easy to manage.

No, the Sprengeri Fern does not tolerate prolonged direct sun. It grows best in partial shade or filtered morning light. Full sun exposure can lead to scorched leaves and stressed growth.

Water your 1 Gallon Sprengeri Fern when the top inch of soil feels dry. In summer, this may mean watering two to three times weekly depending on climate. In winter, reduce watering to once a week or every other week during dormancy.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
