Aspahrgus fern is dying?
As you can see on the attached link, there are different types of asparagus fern. Yours is probably in the second picture. There are care instructions here.

Reply:I found a decent comment site on they below. It says to watch for slugs, mites, and aphids and that leaf spots and rots may occur - perhaps it stays too wet or was over-mulched and now sits too tow. The insects are also possible, so check for aphids and mites at the base or the leaves. The misting might be too much with your present humidity and it could contribute to leaf molds in certain climates - even if it is essential in the driest times of year.
Reply:Overwatering would be my guess. Twice a week seems like too much for a plant that is in low light.
