Hi, Tom,
What a great forum, I'm very glad I found it! Your Sago knowledge and advice is a tremendous help, especially to those of us who are new to trying Cycads (and I stress the word "trying.")
Here's the problem I'm having:
I had my once-healthy Sagos potted in too heavy of a soil mixture, and the roots are rotted from being too wet. If I cut the roots off completely and pot each bulb in lighter soil (or perlite), would it eventually grow new roots? I was thinking of taking a little bit of the flesh(?) off the bottom of the bulb, dusting it with fungicide and then rooting powder before potting. The bulbs themselves feel firm, not soft, so I'm hoping I can still save these guys.
Thanks for your help!
rebecca
