my latest fragging adventure

here are my lastest frags (unknown scientific name) electric baby blue staghorn (i think) ... you can see why it was fragged ... i got one heck of a price on it so i could not resist trying to save and reproduce it. a couple have bleached out on me but i still have the other 8 frags. i think the others bleached because of the condition they were in before the cutting. the ones that bleached were in the worst cindition on the mother colony.

first the mother colony ... then all the little ones ...

i think that they will all be sold to you guys, so i guess i need to find another mother colony of this staghorn acro. it is just extremely hard to get a scientific name on acros unless hte store you get them from has them listed. i guess i will shoot Eric an email and see if he knows before i buy another one.

Bobby...

Can you point me in the direction for your supplier of your little propagation plates that fit so nicely in your egg crate? I am looking for something just like that for my project...

sure jeff, you can get them at Eden ,what i like about them is that they are ceramic, so there is no need to "cure" them. as you can noticed ... they fit right into the egg crate (like a glove).

Great information. I did a bunch of searching yesterday right after I posted my question to you and found 5 or 6 aragonite plug manufacturers. I had no clue they needed to be cured, and of course - none of them mention this.

How do you cure an aragonite plug?
