How to restore the leggy growth of Lithops

1. What are the harms of leggy growth?

When growing lithops, excessive growth is a very common phenomenon. It causes many problems for the plant. It will not only destroy the original shape of the plant, but also reduce its ornamental value. It will also consume a lot of nutrients and make the color of the plant appear abnormal. Therefore, during the breeding process, we must try our best to avoid the phenomenon of excessive growth.

2. How to recover

1. Legit growth of seedlings: Its seedlings are more likely to grow leggy because the time conditions are not good at the beginning and the light is insufficient. At this time, the leaves of the seedlings will grow very long, and the leaves in the middle will appear twisted and ugly. It can be placed in a full-sun environment, while strictly controlling water. After a period of time, it will return to normal and gradually become round.

2. Leggy growth of adult plants: If this phenomenon occurs in adult plants, it will be quite troublesome. You can prune it appropriately and cut off the overgrown parts with a sterilized knife. At the same time, add some fertilizer to promote nutrient return and inhibit height.

3. Molting period: If it has entered the molting period, it will be easy to deal with. You can use some liquid fertilizer to promote the growth of new leaves, which will slowly replace the old leaves that have grown too long, but be careful not to make the concentration of the fertilizer too high.
