Water: Asparagus thrives on moderate watering, needing soil to dry slightly between waterings, ideally on a weekly schedule. It prefers stable indoor conditions that help maintain moisture, especially during active growing seasons when its water and nutrient needs increase.

Propagation: Asparagus propagates via seed, division, and crown cuttings, favoring well-draining soil, moderate temperatures, and ample light. Seed propagation is slow, taking years, while division offers faster results. For division, separate mature clumps, plant sections 30-45 cm apart, and ensure consistent moisture for establishment.
