Your plant is not a fern at all.

Its Asparagus plumosa, a xerophytic flowering plant.

If you have the dwarf form of the species, it will stay small.

If you keep it moist and in shade like a true fern, it will eventually die.

Asparagus need plenty of light and to go dry between waterings to do well.

Do not mist it.

Hi all,

I recently bought a plant, but I'm not sure what kind it is. All I know
is it is some type of fern.

Please take a look at my plant he

I'm more interested in the following:

- How big will it get? It's about 4 inches tall now.
- Will this survive in an office with lots of flourescent lighting
but no natural sunlight?
- Should I wait until the soil is almost dry before watering?
- Should I be misting this plant often, and if so, how often?

Please respond to this newsgroup.

Thanks in advance!
