  • plant trimmings

    When trimming amazon swords should I trim back to the damaged part of the leaf, or all the way down to the stock ?

    I completely remove any damaged leaves (when I get around to it). This helps focus the growth to the new leaves, and make the plant look healthier IMO.

    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

          The whole leaf is pretty easy to remove, it sorta just snaps off at the base. It's a good idea to remove the entire damaged leaf for all the reasons Tim stated, plus older leaves and damaged leaves that aren't growing anymore are just an invitation for algae.
