Unlike the previous Homalomena, it's not a leafy beauty, but a fluffy, up to a meter-long cloud of delicate needle-like leaves (these are actually modified stems called cladodes). It's an indestructible plant that creates a beautiful waterfall of greenery in a hanging pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e💧 Watering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eAsparagus fern has tubers in its roots that store water, so it can survive a short drought, but prolonged neglect will cause it to drop its leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhen to water:\u003c\/b\u003e Keep the substrate \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"31\"\u003eevenly moist\u003c\/b\u003e, but not soggy.
