Propagating Chlorophytum comosum commonly occurs through potting the plantlets, informally referred to as 'spiderettes', [19] or 'pups', [20] directly into potting soil, or pumice, attached to the main plant or cutting the running stems and then potting them. Spider plants are easy to grow, being able to thrive in a wide range of conditions.
Perophora viridis is a colonial sea squirt with the individual zooids united by a stolon or stem but spaced widely apart. The stolon meanders along the surface of the substrate forming a mat. The base of each zooid is attached to the stolon and its body resembles a small barrel, with an opening at the top and another at the side, each opening ...
In mycology, a stolon is defined as an occasionally septate hypha, which connects sporangiophores together. Root-like structures called rhizoids may appear on the stolon as well, anchoring the hyphae to the substrate. The stolon is commonly found in bread molds, and are seen as horizontally expanding across the mold.

A stem tuber is a thickened part of a rhizome or stolon that has been enlarged for use as a storage organ. [10] In general, a tuber is high in starch, e.g. the potato, which is a modified stolon. The term "tuber" is often used imprecisely and is sometimes applied to plants with rhizomes.
The stolon elongates during long days with the presence of high auxins levels that prevent root growth off of the stolon. Before new tuber formation begins, the stolon must be a certain age. The enzyme lipoxygenase makes a hormone, jasmonic acid, which is involved in the control of potato tuber development. [citation needed]
Once stilt roots have been grown to sufficient length, however, the stolon can be cut at any point and the new plant can be potted in slightly moist porous soil. Depending on conditions, a plantlet can take anywhere from a few weeks to almost a year before producing new roots, and may take even longer to grow fine roots and become established.
