Transplanting Sago Palms and Propagating Pups Successfully

Transplanted sago with few roots: Leave it alone for a couple months; it may recover from shock. Water but hold fertilizer until new growth appears, then use half-strength.

Separating pups: It can be difficult. See this illustrated guide for step-by-step instructions. Key: let cut surfaces callous before potting in well-draining mix; keep warm, moist, and shaded until rooted.

Seeds: Soak, plant in warm conditions; germination is slow but reliable.
