let's talk about harvesting sago palm pups today hey everyone its Rob the
backyard gardenerr and today we're gonna talk about how you harvest sago palm
pups you'll notice right there I've got a pretty large sago palm she's been in
the ground a little over five years I guess five and a half years almost and
at the end of the day she's got three or four little sago palm pups that I want
to get off of her now before the winter hits so join me as I show you how I
harvest sago palm pups let's get started so I've got a five-year-old sago palm
here and this one's a female and the reason why I know it's a female is it's
sending out some pups and these things are sharp but if I get in here you can
see that there's a pup there there's a pup there and there's another little one
back there on this side of the palm and then even back here there's another one
nothing sprouted I hear but that's fine so the trick to these guys if you want
to harvest them is you got to get a spade in there and you have to cut them
away from the sago palm really just want to drive it down there and you're trying
to keep the tap root in place and I'll show you one that I've done right here
is the tap root so you want to try to get it so that you have this part of the
root attached now if you don't have this attached it can still be successful it's
just it lowers your chance of success so I'm gonna try to cut these three away
and see if I can go ahead and get the tap root still attached and then get a
couple of baby sago palms so here's a good example I drove my shovel in again
it's the mother plant and you can see attached is the tap root that's where
I'd cut her away from her mom sounds sad doesn't it but anyway I've kept the tap
root installed on that one
unfortunately with this little guy we didn't get the taproot but like I said
this should still work so now that I've got a few of these harvested I'm gonna
go ahead and I'll show you what it looks like cut away you can see where I cut
them away at but that won't harm the mother plant because she's got a huge
tap going into the ground so that should be good for now now let me show how you
pop these guys up so that you can insure your best chance of success before I put
the sago palms of the face sago palm pups into some soil I wanted to tell you
what the soil that I recommend consists of I got about 50% potting soil about
20% Spagna peat moss or sphagnum Moss ten percent perlite ten percent sand and
about 10 percent compost this is what I'm going to start them in I know that's
a big container but I've got four to do so I'm going to mix this up really well
and get this incorporated into the mix and then we'll get them into some pots
okay now that I've got it all incorporated I'm just gonna take a
couple of seconds to tell you why this soil mix is important or similar soil
mix is important palms like a fast draining moisture retaining soil so the
moss will help and the compost will help kind of hold in the moisture but yet it
fast drains because it's got the perlite and the sand in it so it'll help it get
really hold the water but not let it suffocate itself in the water itself
it'll drain out pretty quickly but yet it'll still retain water
let's get them potted up what I've done is I've selected four pots here that are
pretty close to what the size is that I want these to be in for now you want a
pot that's at least about four times the circumference of the plant around and
I'm pretty sure that these are all within that realm you could go smaller
but two things I need the plant to have space to grow and I need the pod to be
not so big that I have to keep it well watered and risk having other infections
now you can see that this branch was one of the original off of this one right
here and really it's it's not needed for this so I'm gonna go ahead and chop this
guy off we don't need that guy what you'll want to do is fill this up at
least two-thirds of the way and when this plant is planted in it
you're gonna want at least the top third maybe the top half out of the soil
completely so that the plant can still breathe put out new shoots but yet still
have enough depth that it stays moist and it could send its roots down let me
go and get the pot filled up and I'll show you how I place the plants in next
okay so I've got the sago palm pup inside the potting mix now it's a little
deeper than I'd like but when I water this down it's gonna compress a little
bit so what I'm gonna do is water this down now give it a full watering a full
thorough watering so that it drains out the bottom and once it's finished
draining I'm gonna push the soil down lightly and gauge at how much room I
still have as long as at least another half an inch to an inch of this plant is
showing we should be good and if it's not if it's too much showing I'll top it
off with the due of additional potting mix okay here's the finished product you
can see he's so pretty good through he's dripping out as we speak so it's just
about done with the drainage process I also like to hose off the leaves here to
get any pests off and debris if you're bringing it indoors I will bring them
indoors right now we've still got about 90 days left of good old Texas summer
and early fall before the frost hit so he'll be here outside trying to grow now
and keep them out of direct sunlight for a while he'll be all my patio which is
covered so don't really want them with the lack of root system to be sitting
out here in direct sunlight it will harm him but
for the next month he'll be on the patio the month after that I'll probably have
him in a little bit of indirect sunlight as well and then I'll bring him indoors
for the winter that way he's ready to go and be put in the ground next year I
will tell you it takes a little while for these guys to get big you got to
expect that a sago palm pup only grows about one to two inches a year and even
when they're a mature tree or a mature palm they only grow about one to two
inches a year so it will be a few years for this guy puts out several fronds and
looks beautiful but these things are expensive they're worth a lot of money
if you were to sell them or give them away and at the end of the day they're
beautiful to look at in your yard so this is a good way to go ahead and take
one sago palm mother plant and get several more out now I've just started
getting the second one in here I've got to hose them off and Pat it down and
we've got two more to go so if I wrap up this video I'll give you a look at all
four when they're planted in their individual pots well there you have it
everyone for sago palm pups are now transplanted this one is a little darker
because I did this one a few weeks ago and I didn't have the right potting mix
that I wanted to create so I just really buried him in the mud yeah and he got a
little bit of a little bit of staining on him but he's fine at the end of the
day I wanted to give you a good look at him beautiful looking little baby single
palm pups now the key is to keep these guys well watered and moist and out of
direct sunlight again you do want to keep them watered but you want them in a
draining pot so that all the water drains out I think we pretty much have
got that accomplished here so now I know that the soil medium is completely moist
but no water is sitting the perlite in the sand will give air pockets let the
roots breathe and develop and these guys should be off to a pretty good start I'm
hoping in the next 90 days they send out quite a bit of roots and seek themselves
a little better in the soil and they're ready to come inside for the winter if
you liked the video please give it a thumbs up
and as always thanks for watching that was a close call guys because I was
editing my video and I noticed in the video I had another one that I had
chopped away and forgot about and left him for dead but I just got him in his
soil the water still draining out of him that would have been close would have
killed this little guy sorry little guy
