Pruning and Maintenance
Hi
I have a newly set up planted tank and have come to the maintenance part of plants. I know to remove the dead leaves and such, but pruning is somewhat confusing for some species. Are there any websites that tell how to properly prune certain species of plants? I have some vals of that all the leaves have brown ends(came that way), should I just give them a haircut and just remove the brown parts? Thanks -- Janine Hudson Sure. Fine. Whatever. -Syzygy I have. I did. It's done. -Fight the Future Duct tape is like the Force, it has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together. I'm completely normal, just the rest of the world is nuts... There are lies, damn lies and statistics! |

When it comes time to prune vals and sags, I usually pull the entire clump out, separate the rosettes, and discard about half the plant. Between prunings, I may pinch off any discolored leaves near the base of the plant between my thumb and forefinger. I have occasionally trimmed my sags by just cutting the tops level with the water line but, frankly, that looks a little stupid. |
