What should I do if the jade plant grows too tall?

What does the jade ornament succulent look like when it grows leggy

If the Jade Plant is not properly maintained, it will grow too tall. The stems and leaves will suddenly grow wildly, the leaves will droop, and the branches and leaves will become very thin and grow poorly. This phenomenon will reduce the ornamental value of the plant and remedial measures need to be taken as soon as possible.

The reason why the jade plant grows too long

Generally, the main reasons for the leggy growth of Jade Succulent are insufficient light and excessive watering. If the maintenance environment is dark and the plant cannot get sunlight, the branches and leaves will grow wildly. In addition, if there is too much water, the plant itself cannot digest it, and the stem will slowly swell and become leggy.

How to deal with the overgrowth of Jade Embellished Succulent

1. If the Jade Plant lacks light, the leaves will grow too long. During the maintenance period, if the ambient temperature is not particularly high, you can cut off the overgrown leaves. After trimming the leaves, you can apply an appropriate amount of carbendazim solution to the wound area of ​​the Jade Plant.

2. After applying medicine to the Jade Succulent, it needs to be maintained in a semi-shaded, well-ventilated environment to facilitate wound healing. If you do not want to throw away the cut leaves, you can select strong leaves for cutting propagation. Before cutting, be careful not to do it during high temperatures. The leaves can be cut into loose soil under suitable temperature conditions.

3. After the wounds of the Jade Succulent have recovered, you can place it in a warm, dry and well-ventilated environment for maintenance. During the maintenance period, you should pay attention that the Jade Succulent likes light. During the growth period, it needs to be placed outdoors in an environment with sufficient light. In an environment with sufficient light, the Jade Succulent can accumulate nutrients and make the leaves more compact.

4. During the maintenance period, please note that the Jade Pendant Succulent is not sun-resistant and needs to avoid strong light during maintenance. During the summer, the light is too strong, so the Jade Pendant Succulent needs to be moved to a cool and ventilated place indoors for maintenance. If it is placed outdoors, it is easy to be burned by the scorching sun. During the high temperatures in summer, if the Jade Pendant Succulent enters a dormant state, water needs to be controlled.
