What to do if the red lotus grows too long

The reason why red lotus grows too long

environment. Most succulent plants grow too tall because they live in an unsuitable environment. The excessive growth of red lotus may be caused by the following environmental reasons: insufficient sunlight, poor air circulation, excessive watering, etc.

How to deal with leggy growth

If it is slightly too tall, you can adjust its cultivation environment, such as placing it outdoors for maintenance, or controlling its water content. If you place it outdoors, you should pay attention to the strong sunlight in the afternoon. If it is rainy, don't worry, you can let it get wet in the rain, as long as there is no water accumulation in the pot. But don’t let it get exposed to the rain in summer. The temperature is already high in summer, and if it gets exposed to the rain, it is easy for diseases and insect pests to occur.

But if the plant grows too tall, you can turn it into an old stump and grow a pot of red lotus with a different flavor. You can also use its leaves for cuttings and grow a pot from scratch.

How to prevent it from growing too tall

Sunlight: Except for the midday sun in summer, it should be grown in the sun at all times and seasons.

Ventilation: Ventilation is also a very critical factor. Good ventilation combined with other appropriate breeding methods can also effectively prevent it from growing too tall.

Water control: This applies to almost all succulents. You only need to water the red lotus sufficiently during its growth period, and control the watering intensity appropriately at other times.
