What should I do if the purple pearl grows too tall?

What does purple pearl growth look like?

Purple Pearl is a relatively common succulent plant. If it is not managed properly during normal maintenance, it will cause excessive growth, resulting in the stems being too long and the leaves not being red. At this time, the ornamental effect of the plant shape will also deteriorate, and the side branches will not be able to grow, which will have an adverse effect on the growth of the plant.

Reasons for the growth of purple pearl

1. The most obvious reason why purple pearls grow too tall during maintenance is lack of light. It is a light-loving plant. During normal maintenance, if it grows in a dark environment for a long time, it will grow too tall.

2. Purple Pearl does not have a very high demand for water, so if the soil is moist for a long time, it will grow too tall, and too much water will also cause the plant to rot, which is extremely detrimental to its growth.

3. If the purple pearl is fertilized too frequently, it will cause excessive growth. Its demand for fertilizer is not very high. Excessive fertilization will lead to excess nutrition and cause it to grow wildly.

How to deal with the excessive growth of purple pearl

1. After the purple pearl starts to grow too tall, it needs to be placed in a place with sufficient light for maintenance. It is best to maintain more than 4 hours of light a day, but avoid direct sunlight in summer.

2. When caring for purple pearls, you must reduce watering. Too much water will not only cause the plant to grow too tall, but also cause the plant to rot. Therefore, it is sufficient to water it twice a month and fertilize in small amounts.

3. If the purple pearl grows too tall, it needs to be beheaded and the top of the tall plant needs to be cut off. This can effectively prevent it from growing too tall.
