A physiological condition in which stems elongate abnormally due to insufficient light or excess water and nutrients, commonly seen in succulents and cacti.
主要症狀

- Leaves turn pale yellowish-green
- Spacing between leaves widens, distorting the natural shape
- The plant develops a spindly, stretched appearance compared to normal growth
主要原因

- Overwatering or excessively frequent watering
- Excess high-nitrogen fertilizer application
- Long-term placement in a poorly ventilated, hot, and humid environment
預防（栽培環境與日常管理）
