Hello,
so this plant grows tall for my tank and needs trimming weekly. Furthermore, it grows leggy and currently has diatoms on its leaves. When I trim the top leaves, this means that the old leaves are the ones that stay and the new stems grow from the stem that was cut sideways.
I was thinking if it would be wise to cut this plant at the very bottom of the stems (e.g 5cm above substrate) once it reaches the top of the tank. Has anyone tried this trimming technique before?
Thanks
