What to do if the lucky tree grows too tall

What does the lucky tree look like when it grows too long?

The lucky tree is also called the green bean tree. It is deeply loved by flower lovers because of its dark green leaves and plump plant shape. We often see the lucky tree in public places, but if it is not properly maintained, it will grow too tall. The trunk of the lucky tree is thin and weak, and the branches are drooping.

The reason why the lucky tree grows too long

1. Lack of light: The lucky tree likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. If the light in the place where it is placed is too poor or the light exposure time is too short, it will easily cause the lucky tree to grow too tall. The main reason why the lucky tree grows too tall is due to insufficient light.

2. Improper fertilization: Everyone knows that if too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied to plants, the branches will grow wildly. The reason why the lucky tree grows tall and the trunk does not grow thick is because the fertilization is too single, especially excessive application of nitrogen.

3. Lack of pruning: The trunk of the lucky tree is slender and the branches droop, as if it is wearing a "skirt". This shows that the lucky tree is growing too tall. The trunk of the lucky tree is slender and tall, and its growth is dominant upward. If it is not topped or pruned in time, it will grow too tall.

4. Too much watering: Although the lucky tree is not drought-tolerant, if you water it too much, the roots will absorb too much water, and the trunk and branches of the lucky tree will grow vigorously. Coupled with the lack of light, it is easy to cause excessive growth.

How to deal with the excessive growth of lucky trees

1. Move the lucky tree to a place with sufficient light or bright light for cultivation. Provide proper shade only when the light is strong. It can be placed in a sunny environment at other times.

2. The fertilization cycle of the lucky tree should not be too short. It is enough to fertilize once a month. When fertilizing, you can choose compound fertilizer or general fertilizer for flowers. Do not prefer nitrogen fertilizer. You can also use decomposed cake fertilizer, dilute it and irrigate the potting soil.

3. If the lucky tree grows too tall, it is recommended to top it according to your preferred height to suppress the growth advantage of the apex. By the way, you should also prune the overgrown and thin branches to promote branching and make other branches grow thicker. After pruning, remember to replenish nutrients to meet the growth needs of the lucky tree.

4. To replenish water for the lucky tree, you don’t just need to water it. You can also spray the leaves to replenish water for the leaves, which also increases the air humidity. If you want to improve the current condition of the lucky tree, you need to control the amount of watering. Water it after the potting soil is dry, but each time you water it, you must water it slowly and thoroughly.
