Would love to back this up! I grew a small colony from a 1/2" stick but lost it during last years' nutrient woes. My other dragon type acros are doing well now so I'm feeling confident again.

Things seem to have stabilized. STN has stopped/slowed and the unaffected acros are exploding with growth.

Took out a few colonies and bleached the skeletons. Maybe make some bookshelf decor with them.

One of my favorite growth patterns, Poto golden dragon. Crazy how it grew from a tiny twig starting May 2024. I fragged a couple branches and one is still hanging in there.
