propagation of sago plum plants


Question
I dug up some offsets at the base of a sago plum plant and would like some info. on how to plant or root them. Some have a little root and some have only the ball. Thanks

Answer
Hi Albert,
Thanx for your question.  Are you talking about sago palm?  If so, here is a great link that has pictures that might be helpful for you.  Many folks refer to the offsets/offshoots as "pups".

I started some sago palms from seeds about 10 years ago with some fairly good results.  If you have seed, soak them in lukewarm water for about 3 days and then plant in a pot of regular potting soil about 2 inches deep and keep warm at about 80癋/27癈.  Germination can occur in 2-6 months.  I hope this helps.
Tom
