I have Shagged but never Fragged

heels92 · 02-28-2008, 08:17 PM

I am thinking about fragging this toadstool leather. Any ideas on where to cut it? Do I just clip on one side or trim it all the way around?

I have read that these are some of the easiest to frag. Thanks for any ideas.

BTW it is about 4 inches in diameter.

cut the head off the head will grow a new stalk the stalk will grow a new head that is exactly how Techno-Vicki does it makes me cring every time

Sarcophytons are totipotent. That means you can chop it every way to Sunday and each piece, regardless of its size will regenerate a whole new organism. Can't say the same thing about shagging!

So just cut the whole thing off? What if I just want to cut a piece of it off and start a baby?

Thanks.

Yes, cut a wedge out of it and tether, glue, or rubber band to a rock.
