Dyckia Brittle Star

The only way to get anothey plant like this is by cloning.
Clonoing can be made naturally when the plant sprouts laterally or by head divisions.
Head divisions if premature kills the plant so this is  a last choice.
Tissue culture is the other alternative.
We never duplicate a hybrid by seeds even if we could get the very plant evolved in this  process we could not achieve this result or another plant like this  would only appear in the middle of  many thousands seedlings.
Dyckias even if true field collected species seeds will present some variation or one or another different plant amid the seedlings.
In nre this doesn´t happens  or it does happens very very rarely and when it happens nature and its 
peculiarities imedialy kills the variant plant.
We may use seeds of a hybrid like this to make another hybrid but one thing is sure: to make something better looking than this is too much dreaming.
