I've just got past the 'getting plants to grow' phase and I'm trying my hand at cultivating / directing growth.
Everything I read about stem plants says when you cut them just above a node the node will split into two stems or branches.
I also keep reading that regular cutting will produce more compact and bushy stems.
I've been working on my Limnophila Sesiliflora
(To the extreme right in this tank)
It's giving my 3-5 inches of growth per week, and I'm really happy about that.
But no matter how many times I replant the tops or cut the stem back halfway above a node, I still get this fairly leggy single stem display.
Anyone able to provide tips or advice?
