LarryD Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 so I got a lovely blue ricordea from Sasha D. yesterday and I woke up to find it had ripped in the night. I am pretty sure it ripped because it was actually attached to two little pieces of rubble and one slid loose in the middle of the night. I have since moved it to the sand to let it be but my question is would this be a candidate for cutting the torn piece off and seeing if I could grow it out or just leave it be to heal?

FarmerTy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I think any of those would work. The ricordea should survive just fine with any of those scenarios. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'd cut it with a piece of the mouth if possible with a sharp, clean blade. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 If I can't get the mouth easily would it achieve the same think to cut the torn part off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Yes. Just better success with a piece of the mouth usually. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Alright I am going to take a look at it and see if I can get a piece of the mouth if I can't I will just clip of the torn part to make sure I don't have this problem again. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 So the Ricordea looks like it might be doing a pretty good job of putting itself back together so I think I am going to let it be and see what happened, I can always split it later if it does not show any improvement.

LarryD Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Here is the promised picture The rip was where you can see the foot holding onto the flat piece of rock. As you can see though it has done a great job pulling itself back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
