Trimming Plants
If all goes well and your plants grow, inevitably you will need to trim, or “prune”, your plants. Likewise if there are problems and you have a few dead leaves off of a rooted plant you need to remove, you will also need to know how to prune them. This section will attempt to deal with the proper pruning methods for most of your aquatic plants. Then you’ll want to know what to do with the trimmings and , if you plan on sending them to someone else, how to ship the trimmings, so that will be included in this section as well.
How to prune plants - This will explain how to trim plants, based on plant type.
What to do with plant trimmings - This will explain what to do with the trimmings once you have them. It takes for granted that you will throw away the trimmings that are either dead leaves or likewise trimmings that cannot be used to grow new plants.
Shipping your plants or plant trimmings - This will explain how to send whole plants or just your plant trimmings through the mail.
