Kenya tree - Should I glue to a larger base?

[ScoobyJ]

Hi all,

I acquired two Kenya Trees (I know, I know). The frags came on two nickel size rocks and I plan to plant them into the sand substrate in the back and use them for background.

Question is, should I glue them onto something larger or will planting them into the substrate sand be good enough to stabilize them as they grow.

Thoughts?

And thanks everyone.

They're likely to do just fine on the small plug, in the sand. They're also quite likely to attach to the glass, under the sand, the back of the tank, any rocks they can reach... even clumps of sand itself.

I'ts been my experience that if this stuff likes your tank conditions, it's gonna grow. Fast.

Even been known to frag itself, expelling an arm to let it blow around until it reaches a suitable location to grow another colony.

i Have to go “weeding” every 6 months or so. Try to pluck the babies as they fall. Cutting them won’t do much, they will just grow back.

I do love them though. I think there pretty. My wife calls them Christmas trees. Even though I have corrected her 1000 times.

Oh and I think the rocks there on will be just fine. Forgot to put that in there :)

I throw Kenya trees out weekly, can't give enough of them away...
