Can I cut the pennywort if it grows too tall?

1. Can it be cut?

If the cultivated pennywort grows too tall, it can be trimmed in time. This will not only increase the aesthetics but also reduce the increase of nutrients. The pruning method is also very simple. Just use scissors to cut off a part of the taller ones. You can also shave the head, and don't keep the stem too long, about 3cm is enough.

It grows very quickly, so you don't have to worry about it not growing new leaves. Just pay attention to maintenance after pruning. In addition, the excessive growth of pennywort may be due to maintenance problems, so you need to find out the cause and make changes.

2. Causes of Lean Growth

1. Lack of light: The plant needs appropriate light during normal maintenance. If it is placed in a dark environment all day, it will grow too tall over time. As long as it is allowed to receive adequate light and the ventilation of the maintenance environment is ensured, it can be effectively prevented from growing too tall.

2. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer: Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing it. If you apply too much, it will easily grow too tall. You should apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to make its stems become very strong.
