Asparagus fern's feathery foliage is more delicate than it looks—these needle-thin fronds stay soft and bright green indoors year-round. It climbs or trails depending on where you position it, so it works equally well on a pedestal or in a hanging basket.

Set it in medium indirect light and water when the soil surface dries. Feed monthly during the growing season, and watch for spider mites in our drier winters.
