I recently posted some growth pics of my branching hammer here.

I would love to have some babies from this fellow, but can't bring myself to frag it as its growth has been so extraordinary (IMO).
However, there are dozens- possibly 100- tiny buds growing off the branches. I have seen these for quite some time, and was always hopeful that they would fall off and attach to the rockwork to form new colonies. However, that hasn't happened, and the buds seem to remain at a very small size because (I'm assuning) they're shielded from light by the full-grown branches and heads.
Anyone have experience with manually removing these buds and transplanting them to rock?
I was considering gently breaking several off to fall onto the rockwork in hopes they would colonize and grow.
So, I'm throwing this one out there to the prop experts- what do you think?
