Leggy typically means not enough light

ok, so if i put it somewhere with full sun, will the leggyness go down or will it still be leggy?

### Penny L commented on 2023-06-23

When my plants get leggy, I typically prune them down so they fill out instead of growing more lengthwise. I had a poinsettia that only had leaves at the top about four months ago. Then I pruned the top of those branches and now she’s nice a full. I don’t know if it will work for a flaming Katy, though. 💚

ok thank you so much!
