I would try taking 2 different colors, cut 4 1” frags and glue them to a plug a see if they intertwine. I’d try it myself but all I have is an Ora Purple.

Well the only problem I see with that is that the purple has a faster growth rate and will just over take the rainbow if placed on a plug. Gluing the piece to the colony allows it to shade it out giving it a batter chance to morph into each other. Will see what happens may need to prune the purple just to make the rainbow have a better foot hold. It will b a long experiment... I will keep updating

I have a blue and a magenta. Magenta needs to grow out a bit, but I am going to try that. Great idea!

Awesome experiment! I’m interested to see how it goes long term.

Top down from today looking good still. But I have been having to clip the purple stylo back as this other one grows far slower..

Can they touch without issues? I wanted to place a neon green next to a rainbow and a purple one but my lfs told me the purple would sting the other 2...

I'd buy a piece of the purple if you're selling what you cut off!!

Not sure yet they seem to be getting along at the base where they are touching no recession. Too early to tell and I'm not sure I would let the branches actually touch..

Would like to see the point where they touch also.
