If you just HAVE to do it, cut all the leaves off and check out the article on offsets and never throw away a cycad, and you should do just fine. I write those articles for people to save cycads that are almost dead, but I don't go around hacking up all my cycads, because there is always a good chance that you might kill them with the damage. If you have to, remember, ut all the leaves off, treat the parts well, and don't hardly give them any water until they harden off and produce roots and then leaves.

If you are talking about the Asain scale, it is unlikely that you will get it on either of these species. I do have an article on the scale though as well, but that is mainly a cycas problem.
