Asparagus setaceus - Lace Fern

The Asparagus setaceus, commonly known as the Lace Fern, is a delicate and elegant plant with fine, feathery foliage that creates a soft, cloud-like appearance. Despite its common name, it isn't a true fern but an asparagus species. Its graceful, arching growth makes it particularly beautiful in hanging baskets, on shelves or as part of a lush indoor display.

Fast-growing and wonderfully decorative, it adds texture and a fresh, airy feel to any indoor space.

Thrives between 18–25°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C.
