Trimming Anthelia

Mikro · 07/21/2006, 12:07 PM

My Anthelia is getting close to a power head. Can it just be trimmed back or will it have to be moved/removed?

You can just Gently " rip " the Anthelia away from where you don't want it growing. You can't kill the stuff!!!

Can I just snip the tops off the branches then?

Cut it from the top on the stalks down through the base and then peel the whole stalk(s) back, if you leave the base it will grow back.

They like water flow and will grow towards a current.
