How long till Sago Palm pups make roots?

Question:Just removed some pups from my sago palm . How long till I have roots and can plant. Should I apply rooting powder?

Answers:
Sago Palms are not actually PALMS, but Cycas - a plant from the dinosaur days!!

First you need to let the cuts "heal" until they are dry (this may take a few weeks).

After it has healed over, it should be placed in the shade in a rapidly draining mix. It is preferred to use pumice (ground lava foam), although people often use sand, perlite, or other materials. Water just to keep the pumice slightly damp. Avoid watering the offset; rather water the soil. The pup should root out and leaf within six to twelve months. Failure will be discovered if the offset collapses or becomes very soft on squeezing. Once rooted and leafed, the young plant can be repotted into regular cycad soil and moved into brighter light.

Good Luck!
