supasi Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Is the swod sending out daughter plantlets? If so the easiest way is to replace parent with a plantlet, trimming swords is often lethal to the plant. Removal of the lower larger leaves will usually induce smaller growth, in my experiances.

alanmin4304 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Some swords (like radicans-now cordifolius)mature into an emersed state and all you see in the tank is the stalks. If that is the case you might be better to get one that is not a tank buster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
