What causes Leggy Growth and Reduced Blooms?
Insufficient sunlight, especially in hot climates where plants may stretch for light, or excessive nitrogen fertilization can lead to sparse foliage and fewer flowers.
How to treat Leggy Growth and Reduced Blooms
Move plants to a location receiving more direct sunlight, ensuring afternoon shade in hot regions. Shear back leggy growth by about one-third to encourage bushier growth and new flower production.
How to prevent Leggy Growth and Reduced Blooms
Ensure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, providing partial afternoon shade in areas with intense heat. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers which promote leaf growth over flowering.
