What should I do if my Kalanchoe grows crooked or too tall?

1. How to deal with the problem of crooked growth

1. Get more sun: If only one side of the plant is exposed to the sun during maintenance, it will grow crooked. At this time, you need to turn the flower pot so that the plant can receive light from all directions.

2. Build a support: Use wooden sticks to support the crooked side, and apply some nitrogen fertilizer appropriately to make the stem of the plant grow stronger. Only by making some changes during maintenance can the problem of crooked growth be solved.

3. Topping: When the Kalanchoe grows crooked, it needs to be toppled in time so that it can grow more side buds and look fuller and more compact. It will not grow crooked when it is lush and leafy.

2. How to deal with being too tall

If the Kalanchoe grows too tall, you should pinch it off in time to allow it to sprout as many new branches as possible. Prune the longer and taller branches, leaving only 3-5 pairs of leaves, and remove all the branches and leaves on the top. Some branches and leaves that grow more densely also need proper pruning to make the remaining branches and leaves better and more compact. During daily cultivation, avoid short lighting time, allow the plants to receive as much even light as possible, and rotate the flower pots from time to time so that the plant shape will be better.
