Over the years of having varying degree's of difficulty planted tanks, I've always pulled the stem plants up cut the bottom off, leaving the top to carry on proliferating. Its getting a bit of a ball ache pulling up my Alternanthera reineckii and Ludwigia repens every two weeks and cutting the bottom off, I feel I'm wasting some of the plants energy by producing roots instead of focusing on growing. Would it be better to pinch the growing tip out and letting new growing tips produce on the stem?
