So how long after set up do you guys wait till first trim? Only ask as things are growing wild and a few others are melting and could do with a trim but it's only been two weeks.

First trim
- Thread starter ADA
- Start date
I usually wait until I can feel they're firmly gripping the substrate, which usually means they've put down some good roots. This helps them to be resilient to attack from scissors.
I like to leave stuff to get as wild as I can stand, but if stuff has got cracking after two weeks, then it will be fine to trim.

Yeah the stellata is throwing up loads of shoots and the melting stauro is growing new shoots, will give it a good trim and re plant today me thinks. 🙂
Just go ahead........
A plant on good or Quote; "wild" growth will have plenty of stored energy, to bounce back after a trim. For most plants, trimming of plants in good growth, will result in more dense and lush appearance. This is usually what is desired.
- and to be honest; it's a matter of "learning by doing" (but reading up a little/ checking some videos will prevent some mistakes, ofcourse)
