IIRC when you cut them in half it takes 1-2 weeks for them to grow back into a circle and heal. Within a month or two the cut in 1/2 ones have returned to mature size. I can't remember how long it takes for a new one to grow if you cut it off the rock. I'm sure someone on here knows.

Second method

If the ricordea is large enough postition the 'rock' the ricordea is on sideways so the ricordea polyp is sideways to the light
Place a pebble on a part of the lower portion of the polyp. As the polyp reaches to the light it streches as the lower portion in held by the pebble causing it to form two polyps.
You see common mushrooms do this oftern.
Good luck

Naesco,

Your method sounds interesting, can you give a tad more detail?

I kind of get the logic behind it, but the how to is a little unclear...

thank you!
