Best way to transplant Hapu`u keiki off mothers? - jenniferjangles - 03-28-2013
Anyone have any recommendations for transplanting the little Hapu`u keiki that grow off of the mama hapu`u?

I've done it successfully. A vertical cut flush with the trunk of the mama hapu'u. A pruning saw works well for this. If it's a small pup you can dig a hole and stick it in the ground. If it's larger you can also lay it on the ground horizontally - after a while it will root in and the fronds will turn up - later the new trunk growth will start growing straight up.
Good luck.

Cool I'll try that. Thank you so much. (Can't find any information on it because the internet doesn't know what 'keiki' is...)
