Foxtail Fern Care

Asparagus densiflorus

Foxtail fern prefers soft light and likes to be planted in areas with filtered shade. A little morning sun is fine, just be sure your plant receives protection in the bright, hot afternoon. Indoors, place foxtail fern in bright, indirect light. Too much strong light will burn the leaves.

Foxtail fern has tuberous roots which store water, even when the soil is dry. For this reason, it is easy to overwater this plant. Stick to a schedule of once-a-week waterings giving your fern a good drink, but letting the top three inches of soil dry out completely in between. Should you experience a drought, you may need to water more frequently. Just test the soil with your finger before doing so. Always allow for ample drainage when watering potted plants, and never let water sit in the tray.

The Foxtail Fern plant is rated for Zones 9 to 11.

Not safe. Foxtail ferns are toxic to pets. 

Foxtail Ferns FAQ

Foxtail ferns thrive with proper care. Plant them in areas with soft, filtered shade, providing morning sun but protecting them from harsh afternoon sunlight. When indoors, ensure they receive bright, indirect light. To avoid overwatering, establish a consistent weekly watering schedule, allowing the top three inches of soil to dry between waterings. Adequate drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging, especially in potted foxtail ferns.

It’s important to exercise caution, as all parts of the foxtail fern, including the flowers and berries, may be toxic to both humans and pets. It’s advisable to be mindful of this toxicity and take appropriate precautions when handling or placing foxtail ferns in living spaces.

Foxtail ferns can reach a moderate size. On average, they grow to be about 2 to 3 feet in height and width, creating a lush, bushy appearance. Their manageable size makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings.

Foxtail ferns are considered deer-resistant plants. Deer typically avoid them, making foxtail ferns a good choice for gardens and landscapes where deer browsing is a concern.

  2. These are the most beautiful foxtail ferns! I purchased 2 in the beginning of June and every time I see them I am still in amazement of their beauty! I purchased on 6-7-23 and they were delivered on 6-11-23 (4 days 🙌) from Florida to Pennsylvania and arrived in SUPERB condition! Towards the end of June, both foxtails had 4-5 stems full of gorgeous little white blooms which are now (7-14-23) little green berries / seed pods. It has been flourishing here in PA, outside with indirect sunlight! Prior to purchasing, I was torn between 3 different Etsy sellers. After reading the reviews and seeing a few reviews with pictures of pristine foxtail ferns, I went with TropicalPlantsofFL and I am SO HAPPY I did! I added a video from today of one of them. 😍
