| "Asparagus Fern" isn't a fern. It's a flowering plant that has small tubers underground. It's spread by seed, or by tubers from plants thrown away by people. In many places it's a declared weed. So, you can cut off the top of the plant, dig out the tubers and plant them in a pot. Any bits of tuber broken off and remaining in the ground will produce another plant. They can be very hard to get rid of. |
