  • Finally, I did trimming in my planted aquarium and turned it into Dutch style planted tank as I promised to you all. Planted aquarium's trimming took around 3 hours. I tried to show this to you in 12-min video.
    If you guys want to see the progress in this planted aquarium on how the plants are growing please let me know on your comments.

Do you have an idea for me to do better? Great tank but if I do such a trimming its total loss. Thanks for sharing.from a Dutch guy.

  • @bartosztomasz
    @bartosztomasz Před 3 měsíci

    Sir what's your experience with trimming stem plants like rotala? Once you have desired density and height do you trim at the same height each time? Or do you trim seven times and then trim all the way to the ground and replant? I wonder if I can trim "infinitely" at the very tips of the plants. So far I have been trimming and replanting what I trimmed but I actually have reached enough density that I can't replant cuttings anymore. But if a trimmed plant gets cut, it releases two stems. Then four and so on. But if I trim at the same height each time I will infinitely trim at the "two-bud". Will the plant regrow just tip to be two again or will it stop growing and I will have to cut all the way down anyways? I can't explain what I mean properly, I hope you understand my question. Let's say I have 10 stem plants in a new tank. My goal is having 20 stems. First trimming will give me +10 that I will replant. Then I will end up with 10 stems with double buds and 10 new stems. A total of 30. Can I infinitely cut 30 plants at the same level to have 30 buds all the time or will I end up with deformed or stunted plants?
