What to do if the moon rabbit's ears grow too long

The reason why the moon rabbit's ears grow too long

Light factors

The growth rate of Moon Rabbit's ears is not too slow and they can grow taller easily.

The moon rabbit ears need plenty of sunlight during their growth period. When there is plenty of sunlight, the moon rabbit ears will have a compact shape and look very beautiful.

When there is a lack of sunlight, the growth of the moon rabbit ear plant will weaken, the stems and leaves will become thinner and longer, and will turn green. The plant shape will become loose and the leaves will become elongated. Over the course of the month the rabbit ear plant will become unsightly because it has grown too tall.

Improper fertilization

Another reason for the elongated ears of moon rabbits is improper fertilization.

Moon rabbit ears do not require much fertilizer during their growth process, so the number of fertilizations and the amount of fertilizer applied should not be too much. During the growing season, you can apply fertilizer once a month, and you can even stop applying fertilizer in winter. Therefore, if the rabbit ear fertilizer is not applied at the right time this month, the plant will obtain too much nutrition, which may not only cause seedling burn but also cause plant rot. It is also very easy to cause the ears of the moon rabbit to grow too long, making the plant shape ugly and affecting its ornamental value.

In addition, pay attention to controlling the amount of water, as excessive watering can easily cause excessive growth.

Prevention of excessive growth

If the moon rabbit's ears are still growing and not becoming too elongated, don't be too careless at this time and be careful to prevent it.

In the daily care of the moon rabbit ears, you should pay attention to ensure that the moon rabbit ears can get sufficient sunlight. Only with sufficient light can they grow well. But be careful in summer and avoid direct sunlight to avoid burns.

Do a good job in water and fertilizer management, control fertilization, ensure that the moon rabbit ears can get sufficient nutrients for their growth, and do not over-fertilize.

The solution to elongation

Generally, after the moon rabbit's ears have grown too long, it is too late to increase the light and control the fertilization. If the legginess is not serious and does not affect its appearance, you can just ignore it. But when the Moon Rabbit's ears grow too wildly, it will be beheaded. Choose a suitable location to cut it, remove a few leaves, and the cut part can be used for cuttings.
