AboutRussel Ray Expertise I can answer questions about water-wise landscaping, xeriscaping, and using native vegetation, cactus, and succulents to create a home paradise that won't increase your water bill.
Experience My wise ol' grandmother got me started with cactus and succulents 42 years ago. The rest, as they say, is history.

Education/Credentials After graduating from Texas A&M University, I started a plant-sitting business in Houston to take care of the house plants when people went on vacation. That went on for five years before I moved back to College Station and started several businesses, one of which was a landscaping business specializing in "dry" landscaping.

Question I planted saga palms in my flowerbed last spring. I want to take some of them out of the flowerbed (I have a Big FLowerbed, but I think I bought too many and they get big)
My question is: What time of year is best to replant saga palms?
Answer Hey, Jaime.
The sago palm is a very tough and drought tolerant plant that is not a true palm. You should be able to transplant them any time of the year with the caveat being that I don't know where you are although I guessing somewhere south of, say, Interstate 10. If so, yes, you should be able to transplant them any time of the year as I have done in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and here in California.
Just don't overwater them when you transplant them; a good weekly watering after the first day should do unless you're in Phoenix or Palm Springs and get a week of 100°F heat. Then you might water them at least every other day after transplanting.
