Fragging Zoos

[happy5446]

Can anyone tell me how to frag zoos from a rock that is perfectly circle? Is it possible? Thanks!

just scrape some of the polyps off with a razor blade, or something sharp.

 

[happy5446]

They wont die that way?

 

[zanoshanox]

Nope, they'll be fine. Attatch them to another surface and they'll heal up in a ciuple days.

 

[happy5446]

Cool! Thanks so much!

make sure you dont bust the polyps though...i personally dont use a razor because its so sharp, id rather use something more dull with a flat surface to scrap..remember they can be toxic so wear gloves and goggles.

 

[happy5446]

What type of tool do you usually use. Thanks for the toxin advice!

first ill take a screwdriver or chisel with a thin edge to get in between the polyps somewhere and take a hammer to break the rock up...once it splits, most likely there will be a part along the break that you can get under a lot easier, you i take a screwdriver, or something small like that to work with, since most rocks are completely flat to just scrap off...right now i just bought some of those mini screwdrivers to try out...on bigger zoos like palythoas and some you are able to work with a lot eaiser as the base of their stem seems harder, and dont grow quite on a mat like some, and eaiser to just pull apart.

Thats what I assumed you were talking about, a screwdriver, but wasnt quite sure. I'll try it this week. Thanks Again!

mushrooms are much easier, just take a razor blade and cut them in quarters

 

[atmachine5]

Ok, then just rubberband them to a rock and wait till they attach to it?

 

[bronco300]

take some bridal mesh -put the mushroom on the rock and rubber band the bridal mesh on the rock, the mushroom will then attach to the rock

 

[happy5446]

I used a butter knife and pushed the base away from the rock. From what I understand, mushrooms will take pretty much anything you throw at them. Next project-leather!!!

 

[atmachine5]

hmm ok. thank you
happy5446 my next project shall be gsp, I like that stuff. I'll look for a topic on your leather

 

[happy5446]

I had some GSP hanging from the base of a rock the other night and pulled it off and reglued it to another rock and its doing well if that helps. grows like wildfire!
