Re: [GSAS-Member] If a plant is melting, is it better to prune it or leave it?

Totally normal as the old stuff dies back you get nitrogen from decay (and other things) that slow new growth. Figure 2 weeks to see the results of a major change. Be sure to stock up at the feb auction with many stem plants.

I have had CO2 running for about a week now, and several days of ferts... GROW, stupid plants! :) The ludwigia repens is growing well, at least. But the hairgrass? Which I want to grow into a lustrous meadow? It's stubbornly not doing anything. And the Amazon sword continues to disintegrate, as you can see on the web cam. It's more hole than plant now.

Is it better to prune the dying leaves or leave them, and if pruning is the answer, how far down? All the way to the gravel?

The few new growth leaves look better, but not great.
