Dyckia goehringii

Three whole years after getting to my garden this upper plant
finally decides to cooperate and show some happiness.
This is the most difficult Cerrado Dyckia to get acquainted to my plow.
Dyckia goehring seem to suffer from banzo.
Banzo is the name of a sickness the slaves suffered when
in America. It is just an intense homesickness as desperately
people died from sadness.

These plants seem to easely suffer from Banzo too and no matter what you do, they will feel homesick for two or more years
You may even dance the belly dance ot take a strip dancer to try to lift them up or those feathered Carioca mulatas to dance the samba to them.
They do no wake up...
But once they awake and sense here is much better than their own home....

If you are tempted to remove these offshoots you see here I strongly recommend not to.
These sprouts take ages to set their own roots no matter what you do or use to
stimulate the root growth on them.
A seed may develop into an adult plant faster than such sprouts.
After trying 12 times I decided no to separate them from their mother.
The removed sprouts are all alive but just this, alive.
