I see numerous articles on how to start an aquascape, and how to address various problems, how to setup a layout, etc. But I have consistently encountered difficult in the realm of aquascape maintenance...
For Example:
1) Do I trim HC or or Glosso? When do I trim it? If I do trim it do I go in and cut out individual leaves to thin the carpet or is there another method
2) Do I cut the tops off stem plants or do I remove them and cut off the bottoms and replant the tops?
3) Where moss is concerned, is it best to lay a small strand and let it fill in or to clump a large portion together and thin it as it grows? What is the best way to approach thinning?
4) When pruning Riccia or Mosses do you remove the hardscape they are attached to?
Specifically most of my questions deal with pruning of plants...These are just a few questions which occur to me...
If there is an article or book or anything of the like which addresses these questions, please someone direct me there. If not, I think it would be nice if people reading this thread would just post their experiences on maintaining various plants and what they find to be the most successful method for doing so.
Thanks.
