The small Vals are about 3-4cm in height and l can see their root forming. When should l cut the link from the mother Val and where? The plants have been in the tank for 4 weeks now. Cheers Wayne

If you just want to let your plants grow then there is no need to cut them at all. If you wish to cut them anyways (selling or replanting them) then 4 inches (to be on the safe side) are for sure tall enough, 2 inches might work already as well. Ingo EDIT: Where should you cut? Anywhere you like to cut Last edited by LITTLE_FISH at 11-Jan-2006 17:56 Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club
