Plants need trimming all the time. If you want them to look their best and remain healthy and bushy, then you need to get your scissors out and give your plants a good trim. And generally, I don't mean a little snip here and there, I mean hack them off. Stem plants for example, need to be cut very heavy, perhaps 50% off each time. But what about plants that some of you may never trim? Cryptocorynes.
Below I found a lovely YouTube clip that shows how to trim Cryptocoryne's. The angled scissors (very nice) make light work and are accurate enough to provide clean crisp cuts. Crypocoryne's (particularly in the early days) can lose their leaves especially if there is some melt. But rather than wait until the leaves go all mushy, nip them off.
It's as easy as that...
