Today I tried a quad propagation on a LRG neon yellow tip BTA:

Yes. Anything BTA. I would not try a quad propagation again then though...the healing time is far too great.

hey Rob, how are these doing?

Slow heal time and I lost the smallest one. I will not do a quad again. Single slice seems to be the easiest and they bounce back so quick. I have had to do way too much nursing on the 4 along with multiple dippings. Whereas the dual props are so quick and I can put them back in the display right after propagating.
