How long does it normally take for kenya trees to startdropping?(UPDATED!!!!!!!)

Well, i have kenya and i bought a small 2" inch frag two years ago. It was my first coral EVER. I still have it and i am in the beginner stage of a forest. I kinda like the idea too! haha Great minds think a like! I think mine is about 5", maybe 6" but very wide base. It drops 3 a week. yea, its crazy. But every time it drops one, i put it in a little 5" by 5" area so i can grow a tiny forest and still keep it under controlled. Are you looking for like "growing out of the top" crazy or just the "kenya flooded the tank" look? haha LOL

 

I wanted the same thing with pulsing xenia but failed. haha! Hate that stuff! All it does is die!

 

Those are 2 of my favs as well,give it time you'll have plenty!

 

If you really really want to spread it around, just take a sharp pair of clean scissors and cut the tops off and it will float around the tank until it attaches and voula you have a kenya forest in a couple months.

 

all in good time..

I have to trim back branches and pluck out lil upstarts regularly now.

 

I can do that in the tank? i have like 3 pairs of scissors for fragging, so im good there haha, but how big of a piece should i cut off? should i do it in the tank? should i do it with flow on or no flow?

 

Yep, I do it no problem. They just float around until they attach to something. Or you can attach them to pieces of rubble or plugs with fishing line or similar method. I currently have 6 pieces that I was going to remove that I got just that way.

 

I shuve them into small cracks. haha Just shuve till they stay in there! When i get my new camera in a few days i will show you how i do it! I have only cut my kenya once cause it was growing into my green cap. It worked out fine too! The floating method works too. Just personal opinion.

 

+1,very hardy coral.It'll take foot where ever it can grab ahold.

 

Cool, so i can cut under water? and just let it fly into the sea? ahaha

And also, does it matter where i cut the kenya tree? like can i cut the branches? or what? an dhow close to the main stock?
