I have a bunch of dragons Breath growing but really want to get it to attach to something. I have tried super glue and that works for a while but it comes off after a few weeks. Any ideas welcome.

Dental rubber bands and some time. some takes some dont . dont over do the tension. stretch the runner band to its max a bunch of times and use a piece of rock/rubble the size of a domino just enough tension to hold it in place then if it takes to the rock glue it to a bigger rock or place it somewhere in low flow for a while it will grow like crazy in high nutrient tanks like my old porcupines tank n not so good in a really clean reef tank

Stretch it to its max to make it easier to tuck some under it will shrink up a lil bit just like stretching a baloon to inflate it easier with your mouth

So then it attaches itself to the rock?

I never could get it to attach to anything, ever. I saw one person a while back that had some that appeared to be rooted to a rock. I don't think I'll be able to find the thread but if I recall they said it's possible but it takes forever.

I've tried 2 methods so far and both seem to be working. 1 is a ton of gel super glue on a golf ball sized rock and 2 is I just lifted up a larger rock and stuffed about a 1/4 of it underneath. Knock on wood, both have been working for about 6 months now.


This piece is now the size of 2 softballs. Piece super glued to a rock.

This piece here is about softball size now. Piece under the rock.
