What to do if the blue apple is too long?

What does the fleshy blue apple look like when it grows leggy

The succulent blue apple is not easy to grow too tall, but if it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, it will become too tall, have sparse leaves, and turn green, which is very ugly.

The reason why blue apples grow too long

If the succulent blue apple is overwatered and not given enough sunlight, it will easily grow too tall. In addition, water will accumulate in the soil during the rainy season and needs to be drained in time. If the drainage is not timely and there is too much water in the soil, the succulent blue apple will grow too tall.

How to deal with the overgrowth of fleshy blue apples

1. During the maintenance period of Blue Apple Succulent, you need to control watering and increase the light exposure to the Blue Apple Succulent. At least 4 hours of light per day must be guaranteed. Of course, full-sun maintenance is also possible.

2. If there is not much sunlight in the environment, we can use incandescent lamps to supplement the light, which is what people call physical supplementary lighting. Of course, some people will also use dwarfing agent, but it needs to be diluted with water, which can inhibit the excessive growth of blue apple succulents.

3. If the plant grows too tall, it needs to be beheaded. You can cut off the top 3-5 cm of the blue apple succulent, then put it in a cool place to dry, and then put it back in the pot after 3-5 days. When it is first potted, the root system is relatively shallow and the roots cannot fully absorb water, so the number of watering needs to be controlled and not too much.
