Hi... The formation of roots on Cycas Revoluta pups can be very sporadic. 12 months ago I removed 15 pups from my mature plant and 3 of them developed roots in 3/4 months. Most of the rest have been rooting at differing length of times and 2 still have not yet got any roots. You will know when roots have formed as the grow quickly and you will see them appearing at the holes in the bottom of the pot. Water them only occasionaly as the pups will quickly rot if kept too moist. After removing the pups from the parent plant it is wise to dust the wound with a fungicide and leave for 2/3 weeks before planting into pots. Hope this helps! Regards Allan

Tom Broome, with Cycad Jungle, wrote an article about this and shared it with this forum a while back. You'll find that article in this post I have provided a link to below.
