Slit-to-split: Does it work with Mushrooms & Rics?

['Ric]

I was watching the Slit to Split Demo on BTAs and was wondering how long it takes them to heal up and be their "roundish" shape again. Also, does the same technique work for Ricordea and or Mushrooms?

works for ricordia florida, yumas are a 50/50.

I slit my yuma a couple of weeks ago and it healed back in place. I think that's because I couldn't pry it off the rock so I just kind of cut it in place. Should I try the ice cube trick to get it off the rock?

Blaine Perrun's site (a little hard to follow - click on the links upper left one after the next to get through the whole story) - http://www.ricordia.org/index.html

 

GARF's ricordia propagation page - but they only demonstrate Ricordia Florida. - http://www.garf.org/ricord/ricord.html

 

In this article, GARF mentions propagating ricordia yuma, but don't give any details; most just giving details on how to propagate mushrooms in general - http://www.garf.org/news27p2.html

 

As soon as I can get some space in my frag tank, chopping up one of my green ricordia yuma's is my next project. Not that it hasn't been producing plenty of babies - but I want to try it anyhow.
