Asparagus albus, commonly known as White Asparagus, is a perennial plant in the Asparagaceae family. Native to subtropical regions, it is known for its white, spear-like shoots. The plant undergoes a dormancy period and is well-suited to both indoor and outdoor environments.
White Asparagus thrives in bright, direct light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires a dormancy period and should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. Maintain moderate humidity levels for optimal growth.
محصول
Asparagus albus, being a perennial plant, typically takes about two to three years to reach a stage where it can be harvested. Harvesting usually begins in the spring when the spears are about 6-8 inches tall. It is important to cut the spears just below the soil surface with a sharp knife or asparagus cutter. Harvesting should be done every few days to ensure the spears do not become too woody. The harvest period generally lasts for about 6-8 weeks. After this period, allow the plant to grow and replenish its energy reserves for the next season.
تربة
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. A soil mix that includes sand can improve drainage.
سماد
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth.
إعادة السمعة
Repot White Asparagus every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loam soil. Repot during the dormancy period for best results.
الانتشار
Propagate White Asparagus through division or seeds. Division is best done during the dormancy period, while seeds can be sown in well-draining soil in a warm, bright location.
تشذيب
Prune the plant to remove dead or yellowing shoots and to maintain its shape. Pruning is best done during the growing season to encourage new growth.
تسمم
White Asparagus is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The berries and shoots contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
