Trimming plants

[illusion54]

Ive currently got an apontegon crispus and a tiger lotus that have grow to the surface and are starting to take up too much space. How and where should i cut them? My guess is at the bulb but thats just my instinct.

Deffiantley at the bulb. by doing this, it wont waste any energy trying to send nutrients up the stem.

As low as you can.

Ok another thing, there are several roots growing out of the substrate, is it alright to cut this also?

 

[Lateral Line]

Yes.

 

[Ben]

Yes.
