Pesky Ricordea!

How can I get this Ricordea to stay on the rock I glue it onto. I have glued it 4 times, and it keeps finding a way to slip off. This was the only one I received that did not have some type of "debris" left on the underside from whatever it was attached to previously. Is the slime coating causing the glue to be ineffective? I've heard of people using rubberbands...could this work? Rubberband it across the top to a rock, but not over the mouth? Would that help entice it to attach?

 

rubber-band it for a few days...

 

u rubberband it over the mouth u'll more than likely end up with 2 ricordea...ive use that method to make mine multiply...has to be a THIN rubberband tho

 

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

 

You could invert something like a strawberry basket over it with a bunch of rock rubble until it attaches.

 

Staple gun? I have heard of people putting a tooth pis through them into epoxy putty. Seems mean to me. I don't know much about moving or fraging them. It seems like 2and10 has some serious exp with shrooms. Maybe he will reply.

 

hmm... usually, I just place them on a small rock, in a relatively low to medium flow area and they attach themselves in a few days max.

 

You could also use bridal veil over the rock or as Sushi Girl suggested. Kevin's suggestion is good also.

 

2in10 sorry I said 2and10
