Hi Folks
My 60cm Iwagumi has been going along quite nicely, but its starting to approach needing its first full pruning session. Now, whilst I know a bit about E Acicularis and Staurogyne, I think I need a few extra pointers.
E Acicularis - I know you can simply trim it to promote new growth, as i did this to about 1cm above the substrate when initially planting. Now its established, do I trim it back to the same point or right back to the substrate?
Staurogyne - I know you can chop off the tops and new shoots will grow from the cut. As this is a foreground plant in quite a small tank, can I trim it right back to the substrate to get the new shoots as low down as possible?
Many thanks
Dave
