What to do if the sword is too long

Causes of Lean Growth

Spring, autumn and early summer are the fast growing seasons. Water frequently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Apply very light, decomposed liquid fertilizer every 15 to 20 days. The cultivation environment should not be too shaded, otherwise the plants will easily grow too tall and not be strong.

what to do

Light treatment: During the growth period, the plant needs sufficient sunlight. After it grows too tall, move the potted plant to a place with good light for maintenance.

Cut off the top or break off the leaves to obtain new plants: wait until the growing season in spring and autumn, cut off the top, dry the wound and then do cuttings. You can also break off the extra leaves and use them as leaf cutting material. The main leaves of the branch cuttings are reduced, which is more conducive to re-rooting and reproduction. After beheading or breaking off the leaves, control the watering a little and try to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

prevention

The reason why the Gordian knot grows too tall is that it is not properly maintained. How to prevent it?

One is to get more sunlight, and the other is to control watering.

Because of the lack of sunlight, dim light and relatively frequent watering, the plant will lose its original shape and its stems and leaves will grow wildly, causing it to become "excessively long".
