Pruning Limnophila
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? Cheer! Boris |

Pruning Limnophila
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.
