Lithops is a very easy-to-grow succulent plant, but many fellow growers have encountered the problem of leggy Lithops, which is a problem many netizens have encountered. Generally, the cause of legginess is insufficient light, so if we want to solve leggy Lithops, we must start with the growing environment of Lithops. So below, Shuashuai will tell everyone how to help Lithops recover after it becomes leggy!

1. To solve leggy Lithops, you must fully understand the growing habits of Lithops, because Lithops likes a warm and dry environment, is not tolerant of low temperatures, and can only grow in an environment with sufficient sunlight. So legginess generally occurs mainly because of insufficient light. We should also loosen the soil frequently to maintain soil permeability.

2. Because growing environments vary, artificially cultivated Lithops grow most vigorously in autumn, and they need sufficient light. Remember that light is the most important factor. If there is insufficient light, Lithops will become leggy and the leaves will become thinner.

3. Besides light, we must also ensure that water is neither too much nor too little. If there is a problem when watering, it can also cause legginess. Watering should follow the principle of not watering when not dry, and watering thoroughly when dry, so it is best to water at night. Watering at this time will not cause harm to the plant due to a large temperature difference.

The above is how to help Lithops recover after it becomes leggy. In addition to doing the above three points well, you should also pay more attention to ventilation in normal times, keeping the soil and the surface of the Lithops plant dry.
