    Then i can try them out for a while in different spots and see. When i'm certain i can just cut the airline tubing and fix it with putty for good.

    Did anybody know this that Trachyphylia can move??? Mine has moved twice already, 6 inch each time. Its going from the center between the 2 sculptures directly underneath one of them, in total shade. This thing has a foot right, so its using it, my surprise lol, didn't know that, and you?? The move takes about 3 weeks by the way.

    The stalactite in use

    Well decided to garnish my stalactite with a coral. Like i've see in caverns, some are upside down so i did the same thing. I used for this experiment a leather toad stool .

    Drying the end with a dust blower; the same you use for your computer key pad.

    Normally he should right himself up and grow naturally , and even take hold onto the stalactite side when long enough, thats the theory anyway.
