What to do if Monstera grows too tall

What does Monstera look like when it grows too long?

Monstera, also known as monstera, electric wire orchid, monstera taro, and monstera leaf, is a plant of the genus Monstera in the Araceae family. It is a plant with unique characteristics, with peculiar leaves and strong pores and cracks, which look very much like a turtle's back. However, if it is not properly maintained and grows too tall, the stems between the leaves will be very long, unsightly, and crooked.

The reason why Monstera grows too long

1. Monstera is a tropical plant that likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. If the maintenance environment is dark, they will try their best to grow upwards in order to get in touch with the stronger light at high places, which can easily cause excessive growth.

2. In addition, Monstera likes a humid environment, so you just need to keep the soil moist at ordinary times. If you water it too much, it will cause the branches and leaves to grow too long. Also, if you apply too much fertilizer or have poor ventilation, it will cause the branches and leaves to grow too long.

How to deal with the overgrowth of Monstera

1. The excessive growth of Monstera may be caused by an unsuitable environment. It needs to be moved to an environment with sufficient sunlight and good ventilation to provide sufficient light. However, if the light is very strong in summer, it is still necessary to provide appropriate shade to avoid exposure to strong light.

2. Although Monstera likes a humid environment, it is still necessary to water it in moderation. There should be no water accumulation. Just keep the soil slightly moist. If the air is dry, you can spray water around the plant to keep it moist. Follow the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently and do not fertilize excessively or frequently.
