Vallis question

[nitro]

If you cut a Val leaf in half will the remaining bit stay alive or die?

 

[Lateral Line]

The wound usually seals and the leaf remains. In dirty tanks with a high bacterial and fungal load, it can rot of course.

 

[English Lion]

I understand it depends on the type of Val. I've done it with spiral and had no problems.

 

[George Farmer]

I regularly trim mine, usually a few inches a week with no ill effect.

Mine grew a baby val and I didn't even know it

 

[Yenko]

I generally just cut the whole leaf off when my Val gets too tall; clipping this way looks much better and encourages the plant to produce more new leaves, which sucks up more nutrients.
