I have a frag acclimating right now. It is showing mostly vertical growth and I would like to keep it that way.
Anyone know the secret to encouraging vertical growth with these?

Bump for some of you #SPSexperts. I do think you're going to get a varied growth pattern from it most likely.

It’s a grower. I had it in my old system and it grew both up and out and encrusted. I couldn’t give it away fast enough. I won’t put it back in my tank again for that reason. It looks cool though.

So i've heard haha. I put it in the back, where it hopefully won't take over too much real estate.
