kk, some plants like cobomba and bunching plants can be trimmed no problem. Others like aponogetons are easily taken care of by plucking the biggest leaves and cutting of the flowering stem.

That only works for stem and bunch plants. Rhizome and runners are different. A pic or name would be a big help.
