What to do if the succulent ruby ​​grows too long

Identifying leggy growth

Some flower lovers may not know whether their succulents are normal, so let’s first distinguish them. As you can see from the picture below, leggy growth means that the plant keeps growing upwards and loses its original beauty. To put it more simply, when your ruby ​​starts to grow vertically and becomes uglier and uglier, it is growing leggy. Now you can tell the difference based on this picture.

Dealing with leggy growth

Rubies that have changed must be treated as soon as possible. First, you can let the ruby ​​get more sunlight, but you should also pay attention to the fact that you cannot give it strong light immediately at the beginning. It needs a period of adaptation. If you don't do this, the ruby ​​may turn black.

Needless to say, you should understand that a position that has already changed cannot be shrunk back. However, if handled properly, it can gradually return to normal. If you don't want to wait, you can choose to remove the excess leaves directly. If you take good care of the incision, it will return to normal.

The above steps are all completed, and the ruby ​​has basically returned to normal. However, if you are afraid that this will happen again, you can choose to change the flowerpot to one that is more breathable.

Preventing leggy growth

Provide lighting and watering according to the habits of ruby, and the temperature should also be appropriately uniform. With proper prevention, excessive growth will not occur. Therefore, it is recommended that flower lovers pay more attention to this aspect.
