    I had recently trimmed my glosso due to it growing too fast until 3 layers. Trimmed to one layer and a portion I accidentally overtrimmed to just the stems... I saw tiny new leaves in that portion start to appear on the stems, hopefully the portion will grow back nicely..

    I wonder how do the rest of you trim your glosso? Cut to just one layer or simply cut all or most of the leaves leaving the roots? I find that trimming to one layer will still show some ugly leaves which has algae or turned yellow.. anyone tried trimming all the leaves and allow the new leaves to grow from the stems?

    I do. As long as the roots are healthy, they grow back. That's what ADA does. Trim down to a thin layer. Else the bottom layer dies, you have more problems.
