How to deal with the leggy growth of purple succulent

1. Supplement sunlight

If the Purple Joy succulent grows in the shade, photosynthesis cannot proceed normally, which will cause the plant to grow too tall. During the growth period, it needs to be moved outdoors for maintenance and fully exposed to sunlight. This can slow down the later growth and make the plant compact and neat. The light intensity in summer is relatively high, so shading measures need to be taken. In winter, the sunlight intensity is relatively low, and it can accept full sunlight.

2. Control moisture

Purple Music likes a humid environment, but is not tolerant to waterlogging. During the maintenance process, if too much water is applied, the branches and leaves will grow wildly and become too tall. It is necessary to water it reasonably according to the growth situation, and ventilate it after each watering to allow the water to be discharged and evaporated as soon as possible.

3. Cutting and grafting

If the purple music plant is seriously overgrown, you can prune it. Select the location where you want to prune it, and use a sterilized knife to cut it off. Removing the apical dominance can promote the growth of branches, and the plant will become compact again. Do not throw away the chopped part, you can re-cut it and cultivate a new plant.
