Why are the leaves on my Asparagus fern turning yellow?

Our Advice:

These plants need a minimum temperature of 10c and good light to grow well. The leaves can turn yellow if they are in temperatures which are to high or in a position where they are in direct sunlight for long periods. They also need regular feeding and watering during the growing season. Don't feed them and water sparingly in winter.
