Default Trimming stem plants (back)



Does anyone know the proper method to trim stem plants? Mine just grow tall
and stringy and I cut them back and replant them and they good for a month
or so and gradually start growing stringy again. I have tried cutting the
tops of to get them to bush out from the sides with no real success. I see
other people aquariums with nice bushy stem plants. How do they do it?

Default Trimming stem plants (light)



If they are going 'stringy'as you say then I would say it is too little
light for the plants you are trying to grow. They are stretching for the
available light, the same as seedlings do when grown in shade.

That makes sense but I have 75 watts in a 25 gallon tank which for these
plants, I thought should be enough.
