Pre mowed:

 

Mowed:

 

 

About 2-3 weeks later:

 

 

helps to see pics and not be told what to do for trimming.

This can newbies a lot if you illustrate the trim methods.

I use scissors. I trimmed like you would a hedge in front of the house.

 

Simple.

 

You can also do this with HC or Gloss etc.

I will trim again this weekend and then take another picture to show the trimming and then post the regrowth.

I sold 220 Plants this week so at 1.5$ each, that's 330$ worth of plants, or about 500 euros

More about 280-300 really. Not bad. Tank pays for itself well every month and then some.

 

Not many can say that.
