Cutting Plants

[fishlover900]

In my 10g tank i have this plant that grows really fast. Once a week a rim it with scissors to shorten it. This makes the end of the plants where i cut it go brown. Is there any way of stopping this?

try cutting then where it starts fo come out of the leaf.

Use a sharp knife or scisors ( spelling hehehe ) cut the stalk below the node at a 45deg angle, underwater. you can also use the top cutting by sticking it into ur gravel and letting it root ( I have filled my 75+ gallon with just 10 plants this way
