How can we prevent Monstera from growing too tall? Can Monstera be treated with dwarfing agent?

1. How to prevent leggy growth

1. Adequate sunlight: Monstera is a plant that likes diffuse light. Insufficient light will cause it to grow too tall, so you need to pay attention to sunlight during maintenance. Keep it in a place with good light and it cannot lack sunlight. Especially during the growing season, maintaining good sunlight exposure can not only prevent excessive growth, but also maintain strong growth.

2. Control watering: Although Monstera likes moisture very much and needs to be watered in time during the growth process, the amount of water must be controlled. If you water too much, it will cause the branches to grow wildly, making the branches longer and the plant look thin. During maintenance, watering should be done reasonably and not too much. If water accumulation occurs, it should be dealt with as soon as possible.

3. Regular pruning: Monstera has a strong ability to grow and sprout, and its branches grow very fast. If allowed to grow, the branches will become messy. The main branches will continue to grow, but the side branches will grow more slowly. Therefore, you must pay attention to pruning and cut off branches that are too long.

4. Reasonable fertilization: Improper fertilization during maintenance and heavy application of nitrogen fertilizer will also lead to excessive growth, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably and apply thin fertilizers frequently.
