Hey guys, hope all is well wherever you may be.

I searched the forums for info on Hygrophila Corymbosa Siamensis... as well as Google lol. Seems like I've read all the same stuff over & over again which just tells me it's an easy plant to take care of. It IS, but I'd like to know how to prune it! Mine has tons of roots as well as side shoots. Should I just cut the top leaves shading the lower ones off? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

depends on what you want to achieve with the plant. IF you want them bushy, leave the side shoots. If you want them tall and singular, cut the side shoots and replant them - they will grow their own roots soon enough

I definitely don't mind bushy, I just want to make sure all the leaves are getting sufficient light. I know the lower leaves are being shaded right now? I'll try snipping off the top leaves see what happens.
