Trimming Star Grass.

[taysh75]

Hi,

My stargrass is growing all over the place! How to trim them? Should i remove them from the soil or cut them?

Any advice?

cut them.

cut them.

Cut the leaves only or the in-between "stems"?

Cut in between the stems. It's the same for all stemmed plants. Two new "branches" will emerge from the portion where the cut is.

in between stems, new shoots will grow out...star grass really grow fast...

Alternatively, you can trim the top, remove the bottom, and plant back the top.
This way, your tank immediately looks nicer, don't have to wait for the bottom to grow new leaves out.

One of the easiest stem plants around. Cuttings from the top or bottom, they all grow really fast.
