What should I do if the pennywort grows too long?

Causes of Lean Growth

When it comes to leggy growth, the reasons that everyone thinks of are insufficient light, high temperature, etc., but these factors are unavoidable and can be summed up in one sentence: improper maintenance.

But it is not a bad thing for the leggy growth of the Pogostemon cablin. As long as it is handled properly, the leggy Pogostemon cablin can be turned from one pot into multiple pots.

Solution

Beheading

Cut off the head of the petals of the cactus, don't cut too much, to make your petals of the cactus look better. Usually, just cut off the "head".

Cuttings

Prepare several small pots and plant the cut branches in the pots. In a few days, haha, there will be many pots of petals of the osmanthus tree on your balcony. If it continues to grow too tall, just cut it off and take cuttings.

More sun, less watering

The plants must be well cared for after being beheaded. Let the plant stay indoors for two days first. After the cut surface has dried slightly, place the plant under strong light. Direct sunlight is okay. Control the water appropriately and do not water it if it is not dry.

Proper fertilization

For the petals of the cactus placed in the sun, apply appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer. To prevent the plants from turning yellow.

Okay, now you have learned how to deal with the excessive growth of Pennisetum! Even if it doesn't grow too tall, you can cut off the branches you think are long and use them for cuttings. Wouldn't it be better if the house is filled with fragrance?
