While attempting coir removal from MCG plants, it was near impossible not to damage (break) the stolons holding premature chicks. I figured I might as well see if they'll root even though underdeveloped.

LEFT: Pacific Blue Ice, with plump little chicks forming on hot pink stolons. If they were picked at this state, would they have less of a chance to root? I'm going to leave them attached, but curious about this point.
RIGHT: top left is 'Bagdad', top right 'Kramer's Spinrad', lower right calcareum 'Fire Dragon', and the pots with premature chicks from each, knocked off while removing coir.
