Hi forum.

I've just removed three small pups from a metre high parent which is still in the pot. I cut as much as I could smoothly and when I pulled the pup from the parent, a little bit of the parent flesh (about half an inch) ripped off. I cleaned away the soil with a hose and then dusted with yellow sulphur. My question is, have I caused any problems to the main plant or will it not affect it?

Thanks

It should be fine. Just try to keep the wound dry and coated with fungicide. I've see cycad caudex's take a deep gouge from a backhoe and lived to tell the tale (it left a nasty deep scar).

Good luck,

Out of curiosity, as common as this species is and as beautiful as it can get when it suckers, why would you want to do this?

I want it to have just the single trunk and to propagate the offsets. The pups were taken at soil level and just below.
