What would cause a plant to grow skinny stems?In: Houseplants |
[Edit] |
Answer
Have you trimmed it back lately? Plants become "leggy" when they are allowed to grow too long without being clipped. It may seem counterintuitive, but you should really snap off the long stems about 4 inches from the dirt and allow them to regrow. They will grow back much fuller.
