Are plants like hair ?

[lil-lynx]

well the theory is when you cut hair it grows twice as quick, is this the same for aquarium plants ?

not quite, all plants are difrent stems you can replant the bit you cut off, things like hair grass cutting them encourages side shoots to be produced making them carpet.
