What to do if the leaves of Brazilian iris are too long

1. Continue maintenance

If you maintain it normally and apply enough nutrients, the leaves of the Brazilian iris will tend to grow too long, but this will not affect its growth. If you like this feeling, you can keep it and continue to maintain it, and it will not hinder it in the later stages. However, it should be noted that Brazilian irises should not be placed in places with dense pedestrian traffic to avoid accidental damage to the plant and to prevent tripping.

2. Build the shelf

As the leaves grow longer, they may bend downward, like the spider plant. If placed on the ground, it will take up too much space and affect normal life. You can build a shelf and place the potted plants on the shelf so that the leaves hang down, which is also quite ornamental.

3. Cutting too long leaves

Many people do not like leaves that are too long and think that they are unsightly, so you can consider cutting them off. However, if the leaves of the Brazilian iris are too long, they will consume a lot of nutrients and restrict other growth. You can prepare a pair of sharp scissors, disinfect them in advance, find the right position, and then cut off the leaves that are too long. During the pruning process, you can also observe the growth status of the entire plant and cut off the withered, yellow leaves, weak leaves, and overcrowded leaves.
