Prunning From the Bottom?
In an article on the Krib, Dan Resler suggests that stem plants should
be pruned from the bottom. I quote: "One solution is diligent pruning. Many of the so-called `bunch' plants will do better, however, if they're trimmed from the bottom. Pull the plant out of the substrate, lop off the bottom portion, and then replant. Roots seem to be easier to grow than new stems and leaves." Can anyone comment on this and their experiences? Or, perhaps just elaborate on this. I think this may be tied in with the absorbtion of nutrients from the upper portion of the plant (through the water) vs the root system........so perhaps it is intuitive after all.
