generally how long will it take for a softie to encrust onto a rock?

my water parameters are well within check, ammonand nitrites=0 nitrate=12, ph is stable at 8.0, Sg 1.025 temp of ~80* +/- 1*

i ask because i have a kenya tree...as seen in a couple other posts...that is new to my tank and was sold to me as a loose frag, i have elastic bands holding it securely in place...but i am affriad that one of the elastic may be a little tight...as i cant see the band going over the "V" of the frag anymore...i put it in a hole so to speak on a rock and once the elastic was on it sucked him down to the rock and the elastic got lost in it its flesh....it isnt cutting it as far as i can tell, i just dont know how if much if there is any interdependency of the two branches..

this pic only shows one elastic but i have since added another one to hold him upright...which it is doing on its own now..
