What to do if blue stone lotus grows too long

1. Performance

They are not long, but long and coiled. They will not jump up, mainly because of the following three characteristics:

First, the "drooping skirt", as the name suggests, means that the outermost layers of old leaves grow downwards. This kind of drooping is not the kind of drooping due to lack of water, but the hard and solid "growing" downwards.

Second: The roots of the middle layers of leaves turn white and spread out.

Third: The leaf centers are gathered together and obviously bulge out.

2. Reasons

Sunlight: If the plant does not get sunlight for a long time, or only gets a little scattered light, or gets very little sunlight, it will cause the plant to grow too tall.

Watering: Watering too frequently and excessively will cause the plant roots to be in a moist environment for a long time, stimulating excessive growth of stems and leaves.

Ventilation: Because the sunlight is strong in the summer and succulents cannot be exposed to the sun, so in a high temperature and high humidity environment, after watering, the excess water in the succulent pot can only rely on ventilation if it does not evaporate by sunlight. After watering, ventilation must be maintained, otherwise, the water in the pot will accumulate, which will easily stimulate the succulents to grow too tall or breed insect diseases.

3. What to do

The leggy growth of succulents is an almost irreversible change. The upper and lower leaves become less compact and the distance between them becomes larger. Even if they are exposed to the sun to make them grow back, the distance between the leaves will remain the same and will not change back. The only way is to behead it, cut off the overgrown parts and make it an independent plant! Blue stone lotus likes to grow in groups, and will definitely grow in groups after its head is cut off.

Use the cut heads and leaves for cuttings.

After 1 to 2 months, many small heads will appear.
