Just do what you normally do with more care so you do not damage your plants

yep, simply siphon around and actually over (if they are a hardier plant - ie swords) your plants.

you take water out and you put water in....geeeeezzzzz....do i gotta teach you everything ???.....lol

make yourself a smaller python type device so you can get into smaller areas...just be careful is all...

yep, just make sure it get's good and rooted..worse case scenario you might end up having to "tuck" it back down.
