I've always trimmed Limnophila from the top - but after months of
trimming them, they become kind of "spindley".

Should I trim from the bottom? That is, uproot them and cut them from
the bottom?

I prune Limnophila sessiliflora by cutting the plant down to the lowest
node that has sprouted a stem. This works for a while, but the plant will
eventually get bushy at the base. I then just uproot the plant and cut a
top portion of the plant off and plant it in the same location (try to
cut just below a node that has roots). I also control the plants'
tendency to migrate by removing any runners. I sometimes replace the
original plant with a healthy plant I obtained from a runner.

Hope that helps,

Brian
