Glue it up right or on the side.
I used to glue the frag on it's side for better surface area of which the tissue is spread to form a firm base. but most of people selling or propagate their acros are glue them upright. So my question is which way is better.

For frags I am selling I glue upright. I think that is what people expect to see. It is also easier for them to remove from the plug if they choose to do that.

I always glue it upright unless its a small birdsnest which I somehow always mess up and hence glue them sideways.

I try to glue it as close to they way it was growing on the colony so most end up mounted on an angle. I feel this leads to the least amount of stress on the frag since they not acclimating to the light coming at them at a different angle.
