Do sago palms have deep roots?

How do you transplant sago palm pups?
Wiggle the pup until it pulls off, or else cut the narrow base. After separating sago palm pups from the parent plant, clip off any leaves and roots on the pups. Place the offsets in the shade to harden off for a week. Then plant each one in a pot a couple of inches bigger than it is.
What kind of soil does a sago palm need?
Soil. Sago palms aren't overly picky about their soil, as long as it has good drainage. A sandy soil that's somewhat rich in organic matter and has a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH is ideal. For container plants, a potting mix made for palms should be suitable.
How deep do you transplant a sago palm?

Can you touch a sago palm?
Although all parts of sago palms are off limits, the seeds are the biggest risk factor, so stay far away from them. Cycasin can irritate your digestive system. Substantial levels of it can lead to liver failure. If the thorn of a sago palm tree punctures your skin, get medical help, just to be on the safe side.

Do sago palms like coffee grounds?

How often should I water sago palm pups?
During the growing season, they need moderate watering. If the weather is dry, the plants should be watered deeply every one to two weeks. Sago palm watering should be done thoroughly.
How hard is it to dig up a sago palm?
Start digging about 8 to 12 inches from the trunk and work your way around the entire sago. The wider the trunk, the further out you should dig so you can get at the full root system. How far you dig down is subject to the size of the root system, but you'll have to dig down at least a foot.
