Hi there!

I live in Toronto and I'm quite a newbie when it comes to rearing the green guys. A couple years ago I purchased a Ficus and with help from sites like this I kept it alive for 3 years. It would still be alive right now, but a friend over watered Sad Anyway, that was the first plant I prevented from dying! Perhaps a bit too confident I bought over $100 worth of plants (on sale too!) and now I'm starting to worry.

My Asperagus fern is starting to yellow and the "needles" fall off. It's not too bad, but I want to stop it before it goes on!

The fern is in a south facing window and gets lots of west light as well.

The room is about 67-69 degrees (currently)

I think the fern probably needs a bigger pot. It's sending out new long shoots.

I put Miracle Gro 6-12-6 mid Oct (about two weeks after I got it) (I know nothing about this stuff or if it was appropriate!)

I think I water it enough, and spritz it sometimes, but not really sure if that does any good.

Anyone help out the poor little fern?
