Newbie question re Ludwigia palustris

Hi
I have just added the Ludwigia to my tank (yesterday).
I was told at the LFS that this plant can get quite bushy, which seems
a good idea. To encourage this should I nip out the tips of the plant as
is done with land plants? Also should I let the plant settle in before
doing this? For how long? I just want to get it right and not damage the
plant.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Paul.
