pruning jungle val ?

[rdmpe]

Hi,
I have some jungle val in a 29g tank that is going crazy. Many of the leaves have well over 2 ft of floating length at the top of the water. I am thinking about taking some scissors to them. I'd like to cut them so that they just reach the top of the water level. Will this cause them any great harm?
Thanks

I cut my vals down about once a week just take there tops and cut away they will come right back. I have been trimming mine for over a year that way I try to cut on an angle to the tips don't look square.
