Sago Palm tranfer?

How do you take the little "growths" that grow off the sides of the Sago Palm and transfer them into a pot to start another Sago Palm so it won't damage the larger Sago?

Sago Palm tranfer?
I did this exact thing about 6 months ago. Just break off the little ones. Be sure to be careful so you get the tap root with them. Don't worry about the larger one, you won't hurt it by taking the babies off. I have two large sago's that I took 13 babies off of. They are all doing just fine.
Reply:Okay, sometimes this can be tricky. Slice it off at an angle with a razor knife. You can buy a powdered substance called root hormone. It has directions on the label. Try it and see what happens. Sometimes you get good results.
Reply:Save yourself the effort. Sago Palms are going the way of the white buffalo. Soon they will all be dead because of a Strange Martian Insectoid Critter that is well and truly destroying them all (we're next).
