Many of my plants that only get natural light have gotten a little etiolated and leggy this winter. It’s hard to avoid if you don’t use grow lights and you have dark winter months but I think It’s alright. Looking forward to longer days ahead 🌻

    It gives them some character 🥰 Are you going to chop them down?

      I think so too. Yes I will probably restart them from cuttings again in spring, but for now I kind of like it

      It’s hard to avoid unfortunately. But they’ll get new denser growth again this summer 😊

      Yes, both me and my plants can’t wait for the light to come back ☺️☀️

    I hear ya! But I actually think it makes them cuter (at least in some cases), almost like they get some personality 😄😎🤓

      Yeah I know. If it’s a species that prefers or can handle lower temperatures in winter some etiolation can be avoided that way
