Re: zoa removal

They will likely grow back from where you cut them off. Try smothering them with superglue instead.

Re: zoa removal

depending on what angle you can get to them..... Just take a razor or exacto knife and scrape under the base and try and get a think layer of rock. Dont forget your face shield! Throw it on a plug and sell it to someone in your club for like 5 bucks.

Re: zoa removal

no, no, no... Dont kill them lol. Frag em and save them for a swap or something. Speaking of frags I accidently fragged my GARF bonsai (sigh) tonight. Good size piece to... About an inch.
