Moving Mare's tail (Hippuris Vulgaris) from deep to undeep section

[gastonbe]

Hi all,

I have a basket of Hippuris Vulgaris on the bottom of my pond (60cm).
It's time for the water lily to move to that spot so I want to move the Hippuris to an undeep section (15cm). This should be fine, but now the Hippuris has taken a submersed "form" which is less rigid than the "emergent" one. Should I trim the plant in the undeep section at the point where it reaches the water surface? So it can start growing more rigidly from there. Or will it take care of itself?

I would wait and see it might take care of itself. You can always trim later.
