Asparagus fern on the balcony

The greenest and lushiest plant on my balcony right now is the ornamental asparagus known as asparagus fern. Though it is called an asparagus it really belongs to the lily family. It is an evergreen perennial with feathery leaves. It is really a climber, using its small spines to climb but in a pot/container as in my garden it just arches and hangs over the pot edges giving the balcony a much-needed vibrant cooling green foliage. Right now tiny white buds and flowers are visible and soon they will turn into red berries. Its vigorous growth gives me the feeling that I will soon need to repot into a larger pot.
I had kept in out it the sun till yesterday but it seems to be getting sun burns so today it has been moved to a shadier spot. But my research tells me it needs good bright light but not direct sun and that it prefers partial shade as the foliage will turn yellow in deep shade. It has to be regularly watered. We have been having regular dust storms over tha last few weeks and so the plants end up covered in fine sand. So I put them under the shower every few days to clean off the sand. The photos were taken after such a shower bath, as they sat waiting to drain off excess water from the soil and the leaves.
Asparagus fern is known as Sprenger’s fern named after Carl Ludwig Sprenger who made it popular in Europe as an ornamental plant. (Chathaveri – Malayalam) Its tuberous roots are often made into a pickle in Kerala. Though a common weed in Kerala found climbing on all trees, it is now being extensively used as filler in flower arrangements. I have seen that in a few wedding photos this year. Very effective as it does not wilt easily.
