What to do if Lithops grows too tall

Inadequate lighting and ventilation

Lithops originally grows in plateau areas and has very high requirements for light. We must ensure that there is sufficient sunlight but without causing sunburn! In the summer, there is a strong sea breeze in Namibia all year round. It grows all year round in an environment with flowing air flow. Therefore, in the summer, flower lovers can use electric fans to blow air on them to simulate an original growth environment, which can prevent them from growing too tall.

Improper watering method

When caring for lithops at home, you need to pay attention to watering. If you use a spray bottle to spray water directly into the bottle, it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall. You can water the plants by immersing them in the pot, or keep the spray bottle close to the surface of the soil when watering, and avoid watering the plants.

Improper operation

If you artificially crack the corners of the old skin of Lithops when it is molting, the old leaves will change from the pulp state to the normal growth state. The old leaves will become stronger and stronger and will not leave. At this time, the new leaves will have no choice but to grow tall. So if you want to prevent it from growing too tall, it’s best not to move it around.
