 | Trimming plants |
Week End  Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004   | When a plant is growing too tall that it shoots to the lids of the tank, how do you trim it? Just cut the top part of the plant? or plug it out and cut the bottom (roots) and re-plant it ( I know this sounds silly..but just want to be sure)? |

For plants which become sickly at the bottom after a trim, pulling the plant up and removing the bottom third works better. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
