if i remember right ricordias of different colors can be placed in contact with each other. right? now i have a yuma ricordia and a plain ricordia will they be ok next to each other? does it make a difference where they come from? thanks guys . im thinking of making a little ricordia patch with multi colors.

I have orange and green ricordia coming together in a nice carpet and they have no problems. My Yuma is not near, so I can't say for sure, but I think there could be some problems... I'm a better to be safe person though...

I have had rics, yumas, and various shrooms grow into each other w/o problem. Although the shrooms grew much faster and larger and had to be trimmed back to keep them from shading others.

being in the hobby many years i knew about this but never had the opportunity to buy many ric's and keep em in a group. just didnt want to spend money on a ric and watch it get burned by a neighbor cause i intentionally put em too close together
