I have several ricordea: some of which came mounted on rubble rock and some came just the mushroom. I have tried to attach the loose ricordea to rock a couple times with different types of gel, however they literally pull themselves free from the gel.

I now have them on rock with a net over them; hoping they will attach themselves. Can someone please give me hints on how to successfully attach ricordea/yuma mushrooms to rocks? Appreciate any advice. Jon
 
I've seen rubber bands used too hold them on the rock for a week or so. I've never done it though so hopefully someone else weighs in.
 
I've put them in little plastic fruit containers like blueberries come in with some rubble. The container has slits to allow water exchange. Glue doesn't work so well, and I've found rubber bands to cause issues too
