Takashi Amano was a true master of Nature Aquarium and Aquascaping and there is so much you can learn from him. Whether it is through old prints or videos, or maybe you have been lucky and fortunate to join one of his rare Nature Aquarium Seminars and demonstrations. I have been following his advice with great success and today I want to share a Pro Tip with you - I learned from the Sensei Takashi Amano:

In one of my recent projects, I have reworked a customer 45cm Aquarium after 1 year period time. I first trimmed the plants back - as I usually do, following the line of the Hardscape. But after seeing all the bare bottom stems, I realized it would take forever for them to recover and that is about time to replant the entire background.

Usually, in Aquascaping Stem Plants are trimmed back along the Line of the Hardscape to create a nice background. Every time the cutting line is set a couple cm higher. This allows the stem plants to branch out and they become bushier. However, after trimming the stem plants back a couple times - the cutting line becomes visible and one has to cut the plants back more often as they very quickly reach the surface.

Now there are 2 things you can do:
1. You can cut back hard, below the older cutting lines. This means extreme stress to the plants and it takes a lot of time to form new growth
2. You cut the stems back to the ground, and replant them. This technique is less stressful for the plants and they simply continue growing, which will give you again healthy and bushy stems in no time.

This second technique is what Takashi Amano has always said to do. Cut your stems back 7 times and then replant them. This way, you get rid of the bare bottom stem and you can maintain a nice healthy and bushy stem plant aquarium.
