grungefreek Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi, I have wisteria (hygrophilia difformis) and Ambulia in my tank and was just wondering the best way to prune them when they get to big?. ATM i just cut the amublia off very low that way they grow back without the placement of the cut being seen. I havent done the wisteria yet so just wanted to know if i prune the same way as the amublia or if there is another betetr technique to use? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubias Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Prune just above the axial bud, ie the bud just at the junction of stem and leaf. If you keep cutting the upright stem you can encourage the plant to take a more bushy growth pattern, as it will shoot out to the side from these buds. Try a few different things, the hygro will take pretty much whatever you hand it, so see what works best. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHL Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The generally accepted way to prune Ambulia is to rip it out, shorten it, and replant. Personally I just rip them out and toss them out; they grow like weeds in my tank, and within a week or two, are back (except the last time when I removed most of them).
