How overgrown/thick do you let your stem and other plants get before trimming?
What about your Blyxa Japonica? It grows like a veritable weed in my tank and a single plant the size of a matchbox within a month or so turns into half the size of a basketball that can be then broken down into around 20+ seperate plants.
Glosso? a little bit soons turns into a giant mat thats pushing up against the glass and then go 2 - 3 even 4 layers high. I end up just lifting the whole mat up and cutting a few squares out and replanting them.
Broad leaf chainsword, pull up 300 (they all come up as a mat as well) pick out around 20 small plantlets and replant and off they go again.
Riccia...I'm over Riccia, looks nice, but what a PITA.
My tank never really looks the same for longer than 4-5 days, it's always in a state of flux. Going through either an overgrown look, a just trimmed look or getting to need a trimmed look!
The only thing that stays pretty much the same is my crypt forest.
