The overgrowth of succulent plants usually refers to the original compact plants, with crazy elongation of stems and leaves, spread under the leaves, branches and leaves become slender and weak, and the color changes from various jelly colors to green and white.

Overgrowth often leads to a sharp decline in the ornamental quality of succulent plants, so this is what the majority of succulent plant lovers do not like to see. So what causes succulent plants to grow too much?

Generally speaking, the most direct reason is that there is not enough light, so try every possible way to increase the light of succulent plants. Good lighting conditions (conservation of the environment) can not only effectively avoid the excessive growth of succulent plants, but also make you confident to take pictures and create a circle of friends. My family is succulent and cute.

But sometimes you want to increase the light. what if there's no way? For example, we have no choice but to plant indoors in winter, followed by the rainy season in the south and indoor embellishment during occasional festivals. In the case of temporary deterioration of light, it is necessary to mention the indirect reason for the excessive growth of succulent plants, which is too much water supply.

Too much water accelerates the growth of succulent plants, while insufficient light allows succulent plants to look for light, grow taller and spread out just to make better use of light. Therefore, if the lighting conditions become worse in a short period of time, you can consider reducing the water supply or stopping watering, so that the lack of water restricts the growth of succulent plants. But this is only a temporary cure, the best solution is to give sufficient light to succulent plants, as long as the light intensity is enough, no matter how much water supply will not lead to overgrowth, but your uncontrolled water supply may lead to rotten roots and black rot. .

Some flower lovers may still have such doubts as why they feel that the light time and light intensity are about the same, but the succulent plants inside balcony rooms are more likely to grow than those raised outside. For example, on long-term rainy days, succulent plants without rain on the balcony grow, while succulent plants exposed to rain are not apprenticed. This problem may be related to ultraviolet rays, which can inhibit plant growth. The reason is that ultraviolet radiation increases the activity of indole acetic acid oxidase in plants, thus promoting the oxidation of auxin to 3-methylene oxyindole, which does not promote cell elongation, unlike direct light, as long as it is not cloudy, there is still a large amount of ultraviolet light, and the glass will refract a lot of ultraviolet rays (there is now a kind of UV-permeable glass), so there are sheltered balconies and rooms separated by glass. The intensity of ultraviolet light is obviously not as strong as that of exposed environment. In addition, by the way, haze, which is very popular now, haze has a strong dimming effect. When haze is serious, ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate, and ultraviolet rays will be much weaker. The fact that the growth of people exposed to continuous rain is not obvious is also related to the environment that is usually maintained. Succulent plants that have been exposed all the time are taken care of by extra ultraviolet rays, and the content of auxin in ordinary times is less. The change in the environment in a short period of time will not cause drastic changes in its growth. The foundation is good, of course it is not obvious.

If the succulent plant has become overgrown, you can consider properly controlling the water and returning to the appropriate conservation environment (enhanced lighting). The already overgrown part cannot be changed, but the newly grown leaves at the top growing point can still return to compact and fat, at this time, you can consider continuing to plant, waiting for the time magician to cast magic on it, as time goes by, there will be its unique shape and its beauty. (but... Usually, the resistance of the overgrown part is poor, and it is more likely to get diseases and insect pests, so don't rely too much on this method to get the old pile. In addition to continuing to plant, you can also consider cutting off the branches at the top growing point where the growth is normal, while breaking off the leaves in the overgrown parts.
