Spindly growth, also known as leggy growth, is a term used when two plants compete for sunlight and nutrients in order to develop. Causes
Indoors, seed trays took up precious kitchen space while the room glowed purple for 16 hours a day, only to produce weak, leggy seedlings. Outdoors, if slugs or birds didn’t get them, I forgot ...
Seedlings have visibly outgrown their containers and have become leggy, top-heavy, or unwieldy. Seedlings display signs of stress, such as wilting, stunted growth, or leaf yellowing. The potting ...
Etiolation / iː t i ə ˈ l eɪ ʃ ən / is a process in flowering plants grown in partial or complete absence of light. [1] It is characterized by long, weak stems; smaller leaves due to longer internodes; and a pale yellow color . The development of seedlings in the dark is known as "skotomorphogenesis" and leads to etiolated seedlings.
A seedling is a young sporophyte developing out of a plant embryo from a seed. Seedling development starts with germination of the seed. A typical young seedling consists of three main parts: the radicle (embryonic root), the hypocotyl (embryonic shoot), and the cotyledons (seed leaves).
6. Don't Prune Too Much at Once. Never prune more than 20% to 30% of the jade plant’s branches at one time. Removing too much of the plant can shock it and stunt its growth.
True dormancy or inherent (or innate) dormancy is caused by conditions within the seed that prevent germination even if the conditions are favorable. [7] Imposed dormancy is caused by the external conditions that remain unsuitable for germination [8] Seed dormancy can be divided into two major categories based on what part of the seed produces dormancy: exogenous and endogenous.

Gorse has been found to form a useful nursery for many species for native bush regeneration. When young, gorse bushes are very dense. As they grow older, they become 'leggy', and provide the ideal conditions for native seeds to germinate and grow. The native seedlings grow up through the gorse, cutting out its light and eventually replacing it.
