What to do if the plant grows too tall

What does plant leggy growth look like?

When a plant is growing too tall, its branches will grow faster and become thin and long, and wilt, making it very easy to fall over. In addition, the color of some branches will fade, making it difficult for the branches to support the plant. There are many reasons for growing too tall.

Causes of plant growth

1. The first factor that causes plant growth is lack of light. If plants are in a dark environment for a long time, they cannot carry out photosynthesis and will gradually grow tall and grow too fast, especially in hot seasons.

2. When plants are growing, they need sufficient water and fertilizer, but if too much is applied, it will cause nutrient excess, especially excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which will weaken the vitality of the root system and cause the plants to grow too tall.

How to deal with plant growth

1. After the plant starts to grow too tall, the first thing to do is to pinch the top of the plant to control its growth height and prevent the top of the main branch from growing too high, which would affect the growth and development of the side buds.

2. When the plant begins to grow too tall, it needs to be moved to a place with sufficient light and good ventilation for maintenance, so that it can gradually resume its growth.

3. When the plant is growing too tall, you need to stop fertilizing immediately and reduce watering so that it can gradually recover. If the effect is not ideal, you can spray some medicine.
