Trimming Vals

The best solution is to not choose plants that will outgrow your tank.
Failing that, removal of the whole leaf is a much better option.  If you
strat cutting them, the leaf ends just start to rot back slowly, and you
end up trimming further and further back to get rid of the rotted area.
