FlyHighDef Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 This is my first attempt with a planted tank. I have heard a bunch of talk about trimming plants back, but haven’t really seen anyone actually do it. My water sprite seems to be doing really good. Pick on the left is when I put it in the tank last Friday. The pic on the right was taken yesterday. It’s already come up out of the water. Do I just cut it back to keep it under the water & can I do anything with what is cut off? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 You can trim your water sprite and just replant the trimming if you want more coverage. I trim and replant most of my stem plants to get a bushier look to it when it grows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyHighDef Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Cool, thanks so much. I’m guessing it will grow it’s own roots after I plant what I cut off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes a little time, but yes it will root and continue to grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
