Common name: Foxtail Fern
Latin name: Asparagus densiflorus ‘Meyersii’
Best position in the home: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some gentle direct sun, especially in the morning. A position near an east or west-facing window works well. It can also adapt to slightly lower light conditions, though growth may be slower. Keep away from cold draughts.
Water requirements: Water regularly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Keep the compost lightly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in winter, but do not let it dry out completely. Benefits from moderate humidity.
Home impact: With its soft, feathery, upright plumes, the Foxtail Fern adds texture and a playful, sculptural feel to interiors. Its bright green, bushy growth brings a fresh, lively look to shelves, side tables or plant displays. A great choice for softening modern spaces with a touch of greenery. Note: mildly toxic if ingested, so keep out of reach of pets and children.
Potential height at full growth: Typically reaches around 40–60cm in height, forming a dense, upright clump.
How to look after it: Place in bright, indirect light and maintain a warm environment. Water moderately, allowing slight drying between waterings while keeping the soil generally moist. Mist occasionally to improve humidity and keep foliage fresh. Feed with a general houseplant fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Repot every couple of years using a well-draining houseplant compost.
Beginner friendliness 4/5
Beginner! Easy to care for and forgiving, making it a great choice for those new to houseplants.
A charming and textural plant, the Foxtail Fern brings softness and structure in equal measure, making it a versatile addition to any indoor space.
