What to do if the Thousand Buddha Hands grow too long

1. Caused by insufficient ultraviolet rays

If the Thousand Buddha Hands grow too long and we know that it is caused by insufficient ultraviolet rays, then we will be able to solve the problem well. If you keep your Thousand Buddha Hands indoors, you must open the windows as much as possible so that the ultraviolet rays scattered from outside can shine on it. Even if you see that there is plenty of sunlight indoors, don't think that there will be no lack of ultraviolet rays. There will be a lack of ultraviolet rays. If there is insufficient ultraviolet rays, it will cause the plant to grow too tall. So this is also one of the reasons why it grows too long.

2. Caused by excessive watering

If you water it too much, it will only grow too tall, because if there is too much water, it will not be consumed by photosynthesis, and the remaining water will be stored by it. In this way, its stem will only grow dryly and become longer and longer. So at this time we must control the amount of watering and the contrast with the sunlight, so that it can completely absorb the water in the sunlight, which is the best way to prevent it from growing too tall.

3. Caused by excess nutrients

Too many nutrients means that when applying fertilizer, we apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer is mainly used to make the leaves of the plant grow better. If it is not fully effective, too much will cause it to grow too tall. So at this time we should change the soil, and it is best not to apply fertilizer to it at normal times. This way, it can be well controlled and will only grow taller.

4. The roots don’t breathe enough

Generally speaking, if you deprive its roots of oxygen, its photosynthesis will slow down, and the nutrients produced will be absorbed by its stems first, which will easily cause it to grow too tall. So we try to make the pot bigger, use some looser soil, and it’s best to have some holes at the bottom of the pot for water to flow. It is also better to open windows for ventilation.
