Plants looking scraggly? They are trying to tell you something! Read on 👇👇 Some of my plants have legs for days, which is certainly not a body type I can relate to, but the solutions are pretty easy! The most common causes are... 1. Natural climbers. Many common houseplants are actually vining so they will look for things to wrap around for support. Staking them gives them a central vertical space. 2. Lack of sunlight. If your plant vines are escaping the pot then they are literally in search of sunlight. Moving them to a sunnier spot or higher up to the window should help. 3. Overcrowding. When they run out of space within the pot they begin growing outward. It’s time for a larger pot, a stake to add vertical space and/or some pruning. 4. Weak stems. If your plant used to hold itself upright but started falling sideways then it has either been overwatered which weakens the stem or needs some pruning to reduce it’s weight. Some plants just don’t have strong stems naturally in that case a stake will help provide support. 5. Lack of nutrients. Overtime plants deplete the soil of nutrients and get hangry. When that happens they tend to try to head to the market for a snack. If the soil is left dry for too long this can have a similar effect. I got these stakes from @walmart. They are linked in my LTK.
