Propagating red grape macroalgae (Botryocladia sp)

[LordJoshaeus]

Hi everyone! I am planning to sponsor an aquarium club growth project with Red grape macroalgae. To do that, I am going to get a cluster of red grape macro, cut individual stems off the 'bush', and give them to my fellow club members to grow. Is that how you divide red grape macroalgae, by cutting individual stems/branches off of the main plant and rubber banding it to a small rock? Thanks

That'd work just fine!!

You might message @Subsea
He grows macros and is good with the grape

I would not cut it that small. For best success, larger branches have better chance.
