What to do if the leaves of African violets grow wildly

1. Caused by insufficient light

If the African violet does not receive sufficient light when it is growing, it is most likely to grow too tall. And not only it, but any plant will show this behavior when it lacks light. In severe cases, it will directly affect its flowering. You can observe and see if your plant is like this. If there is insufficient light, you need to quickly put it in a sunny place so that it can enjoy as much sunlight as possible, so that it will no longer grow wildly.

2. Caused by excessive temperature

If the temperature is too high when you grow it, it may also be a reason for its crazy growth. If the temperature is too high, especially at night, it will consume a lot of nutrients due to breathing, which will make it more likely to grow too tall. So we need to adjust the temperature appropriately. Generally, it just needs to be between 18 and 26 degrees, which is also the temperature that people feel very comfortable.

3. Too much nitrogen fertilizer

When raising it, many friends want to give it more nutrients so that it can grow faster, so they apply a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer, which ultimately causes it to just grow taller and sometimes even not bloom. This is because you were too impatient and applied too much nitrogen fertilizer. We cannot apply too much nitrogen fertilizer when it is a seedling, so we must change the potting soil and replant it at this time.

4. The pot is too small or the seeds are sown too densely

If your pot is too small, or the seeds are planted too densely, they will compete for light, water and air, which will cause it to grow too tall. Similarly, if the pot is too small, its leaves will not be able to spread out, which will also easily cause it to grow too tall. Then we need to thin out the seedlings appropriately, or change to a larger pot, so that it can give it enough space to grow and it will not grow too tall.
