Here's a link to some pointers with diagrams about how I do it with Ludwigia palustris: How to trim and replant aquarium plants | Fireplace aquariumYes trim and replant the tops to get denser growth
Thank you. I will give it a go. As I plant I tend to dislodge more than stay in ha ha. I’m sure there’s a knack to it that I haven’t acquired as yet!
Two main tips I found helped: 1) get some really high quality pinsettes. You're going to be doing this regularly with fast growing stem plants and having good tools will make your life so much easier. 2) leave some petioles on at the base of the stem you're going to replant so the stem will have something to anchor it and won't just float back straight out.
