Hi, I wonder if any of you could give some much needed advice about the best method of trimming stem plants. I currently have some Ludwigia senegalensis and also Ludwigia mini super red growing and it's getting towards the point where I'm going to need to trim the senegalensis. My question is.... is there a method of trimming that avoids ruining the look of the stems afterwards when they start to re grow? By ruining the look, I mean the disjointed appearance of off shoots that some off the side of the cut stems? Many of the beautiful scapes in see on here appear to have perfectly sized stems growing, which suggests that they must be trimmed to control their growth,but they always appear to be uncut complete stems. I attach a pic below of the disjointed shoots I mean in terms of the after cutting growth.
