    I bought two asparagus ferns that are pretty large. I live in east Tennessee and am not sure how to winter them. They are in hanging pots at present and I have brought them indoors, but one is already shedding. How do I care for them over the winter and avoid most of the mess from shedding?

    just keep it in a bright sunny window .. the shedding will be something you cant avoid .. and water as needed it .. misting might help also ..

    Thanks for the info, Marn. Do I need to cut them back or just leave them alone?

    i would just leave it alone ..but if there is long bare stems then just cut back to were the lil leaves are comeing out .. they are pretty easy plants to care for ..
