I have seen some who mount their Acro frags on top of another frag plug. The intention is so that the frag starts growing outward and upward because it doesn't want to grow under the plug where there is no light. I have never done this but it makes sense.
I am about to mount an additional 30+ frags in my display. I usually cut the stem off the plugs and mount directly to the rockwork. So this got me thinking. What if I kept the stems on and mounted to the rockwork? I realize this wouldn't look the best but if I can cut out the 3-6 of entrusting on the rockwork before doing anything then it might not be bad. Plus, if the they dont encrust right away then it seems they would be easy to relocate.
What say you Acro nuts? Does this sound like a good or bad idea? Like I said, I have 30+ frags so if anything, it would be a good experiment.
