Dyckia goehringii



Dyckia goehring is a stolon producer and its stolons are aerial ones.
They won´t produce roots unless induced to.
This is naturally promoted by the detaching the stolon from its mother plant.
While attached to its mother the stolon is a lazy one to produce its own roots.
Also, its roots are not produced anywhere but only in its "belly", the part of the stolon that touches the soil.
If you bury the stolon most probably you will loose the plant by fungi attach and then roting the whole thing.
The wiser to do is to  lure the plant by imitating nature keeping the unrooted stolon on top of the substrate and keep it well fixed using a metallic clip you can make yourself  using a piece of any wire.
