I agree with what LeighMo has said about the room these plants take
up. I bought one plant and now and all the off shoots have taken over
nealry 1/2 of my 90 gallon. The pruning will begin this weekend.


A cool note- if you prune the surface shoots (the leaves that try for the
surface) the plant will 'learn" and produce more low bushy foliage. I guess
it's a survival trait for areas with outboard motors
