What to do if the fairy finger is too long

reason

Generally speaking, there are three possible reasons, one of which is insufficient light. Although plants like to grow in warm and humid places, they cannot be deprived of light for a long time.

The second is insufficient nutrients, so the plants can only grow longer but not thicker.

The third is too much water.

Specific solutions

If there is insufficient light, it is relatively easy to deal with. Just let it see more light. Except for the hottest period of summer, you can take it out to dry in the sun at other times, and there is no harm in leaving it outdoors all day. If enough light is provided, you may find that it will no longer grow longer, but will instead appear stronger.

If there is a lack of nutrients, you can change the soil and choose potting soil that is more fertile and has better drainage. If you are not satisfied with the choice of soil, don't worry too much, you can still make up for it by fertilizing in the future. In fact, this plant likes fertilizer more. Fertilizer can be used every other week during the growth period. In autumn and winter, in order to improve the quality of the flowers, you can also add some (KH2PO4) solution. Of course, this is not necessary in midsummer.

Finally, if it is the third reason, then watering should be done scientifically. Although we say that this plant likes moisture, it does not mean the more you water it the better. If the amount of water is too much, it will not only cause the plant to grow very tall, but also cause its roots to rot. Therefore, it is okay to water more when the plant is growing faster, but you should not water it too much when it is dormant.
