Leigh,

Does your valisneria die after trimming?

I am not sure the best way to handle Val. I trim leaves, I think to no serious
dilatarious effect.

However, I will be on the look out for what happens to a trimmed leaf. I
assumed it simply quit growing for a while, and another leaf replaced the old
eventually. I don't really have a tremendous amount of die back after trimming
--- at least as far as I have observed anyhow. (I do take out dead leaves
during weakly cleanings though..)

Seems like you gotta do something like trimming with Val, because it seems to
take over otherwise.
