What should I do if the purple iris grows too tall?

1. Supplement sunlight

The phenomenon of excessive growth of succulent plants such as Purple Joy is most likely caused by insufficient sunlight. When placed in a place with poor light, photosynthesis cannot proceed normally, causing the plant to grow excessively. During the growing period, you can place it in a well-lit place with sufficient exposure to sunlight, which can slow down its later excessive growth and also make the plant shape become compact and neat. In winter, the intensity of sunlight is lower, so full sunlight is acceptable. However, the summer sun is quite strong, so be careful to block the sun.

2. Control moisture

The growth of Zi Le cannot be separated from the application of water, but during the maintenance process, if too much water is applied, it will also cause the branches and leaves to become too lush and grow too tall. It is necessary to water the plant reasonably according to its growth conditions. If you water the plant too much, you need to promote the drainage and evaporation of water as quickly as possible.

3. Cutting and grafting

If the purple music plant grows too tall, it needs to be topped and pruned. Select the location where you want to cut the top, use a sharp knife to cut it off, remove the apical dominance, promote the germination of side branches, and the plant will become compact again. Don't throw away the cut parts. You can remove the leaves at the base and plant them in the soil to grow new plants.
