A leggy plant has long, stretched-out stems with sparse leaves, usually because it’s not getting enough light.
Plants naturally reach toward light sources, so insufficient light causes them to grow tall and thin. Overcrowding or improper pruning can also contribute to legginess.
Some plants naturally grow leggy as they mature, but you can encourage fuller growth by moving them to a brighter spot, rotating them regularly, and trimming long stems.
Propagating cuttings from healthy sections can also create bushier new plants. Consistent care and proper lighting help your plant regain a compact, healthy shape.
