Its a hard to keep, picky piece for sure. I don't know what caused mine to go sideways (but I know several people that had pieces off the same colony I did had the same thing happen) but hopefully yours will be good and make it! Obviously it can make it, you have a rather large piece, and I have seen large colonies before, so just keep it happy

Mine was less than 1/4" when I got it, browned out and took months to come back. 1/4" frag was $50 + 45 shipping. Very expensive but it was free because I won the $100 DIY contest last year. I would have never bought it for that and would have been bugging you for a piece (as it seems no one has it) but I got lucky. Beautiful Colony you have there, my stub is about 1/2 " around now, 1" tall and a little 1/4" nub growing on the base which is about 1 1/2"...,,,after 9mths or so lol. Slow grower w hen its that size.

So far anyway it has proven to be an easy one. It has really increased in coloration. This is what it looked like the day I brought it home:

As you can see the red and green have both really gained color.

Good deal, hopefully it continues to stay happy it really is an amazingly beautiful piece IMO! If one of those little nubs ever drops off let me know lol

Thank you, will do. I have a couple of spots that I could frag and it would not be noticed but, I don't want to cause it any stress until after I know it is settled in.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't give it any unnecessary stress anytime soon, not worth the risk IMO. I'm in no rush whatsoever, 6 months 6 yrs no problem.
