Damaged stems after trimming

[AdAndrews]

Hi guys, yet another issue im trying to put right in my 35litre, is that when i trim my rotala rotundifolia, about 1cm down from the cut is all damaged tissue, where the stem has turned brown-ish, is this becuase of blunt scissors? or a wrong way of cutting?

If the scissors are at fault, can anyone recommend a good pair.

thanks

i would say its due to your blunt scissors,its a case of nothing like the right tools for the job,you get what you pay for and i know they are not cheap but they will last years if you get the ones from TGM or AE your choice,
