3. In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly. You can also increase the frequency of watering appropriately. You can water once every 3 ~ 4 days

4. In winter, the frequency of watering should be reduced, and watering once in half a month or so is also OK

Basin soil selection should be considered

Generally, it is most suitable to cultivate asparagus in clay flowerpots, plastic pots or tile pots. The size of the flowerpot can be selected according to the size of the asparagus itself
