New plants

How soon after adding plants can you trim bad leaves? I added a few plants yesterday and already some of the leaves aren't looking good.

If they're yellow or brown trim them now so the plant doesn't waste energy trying to feed them. If they're melting, you can trim or not-- some do, I don't. If they're just starting to look bad on the edges, I'd give them a few days to see if they perk up, honestly. Being replanted is stressful.

OK I'll give it a few days, thank you. [emoji1303]

Damaged leaves will not recover, generally it's best to trim them off to remove organic material rotting in the tank.

When I cut the bad leaves off the stem plants will they grow back in the same place or will that just become more bare stem area?

Bare stem area, you can cut the stem and replant to top if you want
