Picked up a big colony of this and looking to cut a few prices off to sell.
However I’ve heard that it doesn’t do well just as single strands posted out, instead I need little nodules or something so they can grow. How should I frag them so the person who bought them will actually have a cutting that grows?
Thankd

Sorry bit late but heres a picture if you're still interested
Found the best way is to just pull a full stem out of the rockwork where it attaches, seems to work pretty well
