These can be just fine even if taken with no roots at all. You also need to look at my transplanting article in my website for all your answers, but real fast, cut all the leaves off, make a fresh cut on anything damaged so you can apply Daconil at once, let that dry and paint all root wounds with black tree paint, then do what I say with transplanting and reading the offset article in the same section will give you insight on planting cycads that have been treated for damage.
