I am grateful you made this. My mama palm has two big pups and starting a third. I didn’t have a clue as to how to safely separate them. Your video has set me in the path to propagation. Thank you!
I like your step by step directions. Before today in your video I had no idea that they have pups. I bought my mom one like ten years ago so now I need to go over there and see if in fact there have been pups. I appreciate that you share this information of your expertise. Thank You!!
Thank you for all that great information! Clear, concise and full of tips. We bought a house with a Sago palm so I have been learning how to care for it. I discovered a pup at its base while trimming the leaves. Now I will attempt to root this pup, thanks to your video.
I just spent the afternoon removing a few years' worth of offspring from a main plant next door. I wasn't even trying to get roots, I just needed to liberate the mama plant. Definitely a female plant... she got all those frigging hypodermic needle spikes on the trunk!!! Anyhoo... I came looking for ways to maybe root the smaller "hearts" I dug up. I promised friends to try to start plants for them and I know these things are super hearty... if you have almost any big enough chunk, they'll regrow. I'm glad to find your video and find out I'm doing the right way to try and root the new ones. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing comments and pictures. I tried propagating two babies in the last year and was surprised that I was even successful because I didn't watch any videos or read anything to understand how this worked. Now that I have watched your videos, I see why it took a year for them to grow new foliage: ! Thank you so much for helping me understand the way these plants grow.
Thank you for this interesting video. I am in New Zealand/Aotearoa in the South Pacific. We have lots of pups around the base of our Sago Palms. We’ll have to have a go at separating some of them from the mother plant. 🪴🪴🪴
Thank you for explaining and showing how to propagate sagos. I have one the got pups about 6 months ago and look ready to cut away. I’m excited to get new plants.
Thanks for this!! Mine are in pots so can't make use of a spade like you but the dynamics are the same I guess... Our seasons are different from yours (southern Mediterranean... Very mild Winters, brief Spring & Autumn, very hot Summers) so I guess I 'll need to go round what you described season -wise. Once again thank you. Wish you the very best in life...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have two very mature Sago Palms and this year I decided to try and propagate a pup. I wasn't able to get the tap root, but I will give it a try using your technique. Time will tell if I succeed!
Also... made sure to sub. I'm definitely coming back for tips while I try all this... My friends think I have a superpower with plants, but the real secret is I make sure to get with people who know what they're doing! 😂
Great video!! I had a sago palm for like 15 years and never a pup or a problem. Forward to this new place where there were 4 very messy unkempt sagos, and with the past winter they got worse... long story short I removed many pups and mostly no roots. I was about to toss them in the bin till I watched this! I feel so lucky I bumped into your channel! Just subscribed! 🌴
Great video! I’m new to planting/growing Anything. I’m trying to research as much as possible when I have the down time. I have subscribed and look forward to learning as much as I can from you. Thanks Again
Very nice video! I recently moved to Florida after retiring and one of 1st plants I bought from a nursery was a Sago that had 4 or 5 pups on it so I am anxious to see if have success rooting the pups
Very thankful for this video . Our first sago we bought 16 years ago finally has 3 new pups. So we are new parents and are looking forward to trying this. Thank you again.
Great video. The pups in the ground are easy but the ones growing off the side of the same plant seems to be more difficult. I must have 30 of them in one huge group.
Thanks for dropping the knowledge I just moved into a house and the sago has a couple bulbs. I was just looking to remove them now Im thinking of lining my driveway. Maybe put them elsewhere. Looks like I have a few months to figure it out, but definitely going to try!
Normally I try to do this in the late winter (Feb) when they’re mostly dormant. It works out because that’s also when I’m removing any leaves that were damaged by winter cold. I also remove all leaves from the pup. Dust them with rooting hormone (also acts as anti fungal) and harden off in the garages for 3ish weeks. From there you can actually plant directly into the ground.
Thanks for taking time and adding ups and downs to transfer pups. You speak with knowledge. If I have a plant that never gets taller? When trimming the limbs do you start at the outside of the plant? How often do you trim?
After one year start trimming them back to encourage new sprouts. Trim them back every fall or winter to ensure healthy sprouts in the spring and summer months. Thanks
I have 2 Sagos that are over 20 years old. Until recently I did not recently I have NOT cut the frons off because the Nursery's gardener said not to do so. I have what looks like pups growing out the top & sides but none on the ground by MAMA. How can I propagate those. I sure don't wanna lose them.
Just try my first struggle with two close pups. No tap root so i smear aloe vera and also at the cuts of moma for healing since 😢i took her babies away.
Great video! I gave a bunch of Sago pups away and the person--Vitaly--wants to know if there is a fertilizer you recommend to encourage rooting? Especially when there's no tap root.
I wouldn’t do any fertilizing until the pup forms a massive root ball and it’s ready to be planted in the ground. Then I’d use a 10-10-10 to help it get established. Once established no fertilizer is necessary just a well drained sandy soil. Thanks
Sago palms are very cold hardy. If temperatures get down in the teens you might need to cover bulb at night with a old comforter or blanket. That’s very rare in my area. They handle 30’s and 40’s with no problems.
It’s drizzling rain here so the soil is loose. I’m going to attempt to transplant the 3 pups . I bought Espoma Land and Sea potting mix. Will mix with regular potting mix.
I'm in southern NC. Would it be ok to trim my Sago Palm back pretty hard right now? It could still get pretty cool at night at this time (March 24th). It's about 15 years old and has never been trimmed. It has loads of seed pods this year. Thanks for your videos.
As long as the threat of 30 degree temperatures or lower are over I’d say go ahead and trim it all the way back. They can handle cool temps with no problem. Clean out all the old seeds and flower ends and it should flourish during the upcoming growing season. Let me know how it’s looking this summer!
It's winter and I want to get the pups out, there are about 10 and they've been there for a few months, what do you suggest? Can it wait until spring to remove them? I'm in Florida
The seeds must be fertile or they won’t sprout into a plant. They must be pollinated by a male plant that’s close by. Put seeds in a bucket of water and the ones that float are bad, the ones that sink are good. Thanks
It dont matter if you get the tap root... These mfers will grow roots in no damn time. I had removed one last year and left some pups laying around and they rooted up and grew more sagos.
It is a blessing that you have showed us how to propagate with verbal instructions. Thank You! And God Bless.
I am grateful you made this. My mama palm has two big pups and starting a third. I didn’t have a clue as to how to safely separate them. Your video has set me in the path to propagation. Thank you!
No problem good luck
Very helpful video. I often grow pups with much success but it is so helpful when you see how others propagate their own pups.
I like your step by step directions. Before today in your video I had no idea that they have pups. I bought my mom one like ten years ago so now I need to go over there and see if in fact there have been pups. I appreciate that you share this information of your expertise. Thank You!!
Thank you
Thank you so much for showing me how to do this!!!! It's exactly what I was looking for ! Thank you , thank you , thank you for this presentation 👍👍👍
Thank you!!! GREAT explanation on how to propagate sago palms.

Your yard is beautiful. I love the rocks.
Thank you!
Thank you for the info. You made it very easy to follow. I’ll let you know how it works for me.
Yes please let me know how it goes
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! There's something really so beautiful about Sago pups, they look so eager
👍🏼
Thank you for this interesting video. I am in New Zealand/Aotearoa in the South Pacific. We have lots of pups around the base of our Sago Palms. We’ll have to have a go at separating some of them from the mother plant. 🪴🪴🪴
After hearing how many regrows you had I paid attention. Going to try your technique this weekend in California.
Good let me know how it goes
I "stole" some pups from my parents and had no idea how to propagate them. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for explaining and showing how to propagate sagos. I have one the got pups about 6 months ago and look ready to cut away. I’m excited to get new plants.

Thank you so much, it helped me a lot. I have 8 pups and only one has some roots.
Appreciate your effort to show this process
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Very thankful for this video . Our first sago we bought 16 years ago finally has 3 new pups. So we are new parents and are looking forward to trying this. Thank you again.
This is perfect, every question I had has been answered. Thanks!
If the bulb gets cut in half, can the top half still grow roots or is it a lost cause?
Great video. The pups in the ground are easy but the ones growing off the side of the same plant seems to be more difficult. I must have 30 of them in one huge group.
Thanks for dropping the knowledge I just moved into a house and the sago has a couple bulbs. I was just looking to remove them now Im thinking of lining my driveway. Maybe put them elsewhere. Looks like I have a few months to figure it out, but definitely going to try!

Sounds good. I’ll try that
Would these live in the wet cold Irish climate or do they have to be in sunny dr climates?
Thanks for taking time and adding ups and downs to transfer pups. You speak with knowledge. If I have a plant that never gets taller? When trimming the limbs do you start at the outside of the plant? How often do you trim?
Yes start on outside and cut leaf stem as close to the base as possible. There are a lot of good trimming videos on RUclips
My sago palm has 2 new shoots for over 1 month, maybe 2. How long does it take for them to open up?
Hi from Pensacola 😊thanks
Great knowledge and even greater plant majestic and I love growing them 👍 cheers
Thanks
Great job my man! I’m gonna start doing this… great video! Thank you!
Because i don't understand very well English, i have a question, when you take them out from mam , how long have to stay in a flower pot? Thank you !
If I forgot to add compost to my soil mix can use a water compost to keep it growing
I love sagos. I can tell you do too. Thanks for the video.
How old should they be before you start trimming them back.. mine's just went in the ground this past year
After one year start trimming them back to encourage new sprouts. Trim them back every fall or winter to ensure healthy sprouts in the spring and summer months. Thanks

Great video! You should try using a Dyna-Diggr!

@@agoutside5192 Thanks so much for your response! I'll pass it along.
Your video is very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey where are you located because you have outside so what do you do when weather gets colder?
Sago palms are very cold hardy. If temperatures get down in the teens you might need to cover bulb at night with a old comforter or blanket. That’s very rare in my area. They handle 30’s and 40’s with no problems.
Thank you! This video is very helpful!

Thank you for the info! Exactly what I needed!
Thank you!!! When is best tomove these pups?
I usually remove in the fall after the growing season. Thanks
They look healthy. Thanks for sharing.👍🏿❤️🩹

Hard work. Good job.
Nice work! very informative!! Thank you. Give it a try 😎
It's winter and I want to get the pups out, there are about 10 and they've been there for a few months, what do you suggest? Can it wait until spring to remove them? I'm in Florida
I suggest waiting until the spring so you can repot the pups. They should root quicker in warmer weather. Thanks
Goes right to the point to get the job done.
👍🏼
I noticed you had a hot wire run toward the bottom of your grapes has that not worked
thanks just dug up 8 pups ?I have not touched my plants since planted 2oyears ?They were looking so sad hoping to revive them to new
Good luck. Thanks
Looks awesome
Thanks
Hi friend. Can you talk something about the sago seeds. I didn't get plant from seed female sago plant. Is it wrong?
The seeds must be fertile or they won’t sprout into a plant. They must be pollinated by a male plant that’s close by. Put seeds in a bucket of water and the ones that float are bad, the ones that sink are good. Thanks
@@agoutside5192 thanks friend
Hello I subbed! I can tell you know what your talking about!!!! Great video on the palm pups!!!
Thank you so much!
Sawsall AG?
TY!
It helped me so much to hank you !!!
Great! Thank you
It dont matter if you get the tap root... These mfers will grow roots in no damn time. I had removed one last year and left some pups laying around and they rooted up and grew more sagos.
I formally
90th, 21 June 2024
Next time just throw some root simulator on it and throw it in the soil
My Sagos are out of control.
😂
