How often do you you trim your stem plants in low tech?
Do you replant often?
Do you replant often?
Hi,it depends on various factors.Plants being used,growth rate,desired effect.Best gives us a list of your plants and even better a pic of your tank maybe with an idea of what you would like to achieve.Cheers Mark
Nice looking tank, from my short experience with stems low tech, I keep the trimming to a minimum normally if they hit the surface or block flow/light from other plants I cut them back and replant the tops, sometimes uproot cut them replant the tops and discard the bottom portion if they are looking a little shabby.
Very nice tank Nick,good healthy looking low tech tank you have thereI would agree with Tim's comments.You don't want or need to go severely trimming your plants as growth rate should not be too high/quick being low tech.As said above remove shabby stems and replanting upper portions and the odd removal of echinodorus and cryptocoryne leaves to keep it looking tidy and retain good flow.Cheers Mark.
Hey Nick....that is one sweet tank you have there. Awesome mate. It's looking so matured & lush. How long has it been running for? Could you be kind enough to share the tank dimensions, lighting details & photo period details please if you don't mind?
