Pruning Aquarium Plants?

[Sirron]

I was just curious if it's beneficial to prune aquarium plants like say a rosebush. I have a moneywart plant that is kind of dying, should I cut back the dying part? or just leave it. I will be getting a co2 filter and some plant fertilizer in a few days so I won't have a problem with it dying anymore. But in the mean time I was just wondering if I should cut it back some.

cutting plants encourages new growth, but if yo think it is CO2/ nutrient realted then it will still die until you fix those

Should I cut off the dead before I install the new filter? or should i just leave it. it's only the one plant that's dying everything else seems to be doing pretty good. The only reason I'm adding the co2 filter is because I want everything to grow a bit faster

Get rid of anything dead and/or rotting.

So should through out the whole plant? It's not all dead just parts of it

Just the parts that are rotting/brown, mushy dieing.
Replant any healthy bits.
