No, I don’t have any videos on sucker division. We select low growing suckers and place a growing pot with the back cut away around the sucker. The pot should be filled with a good medium, maybe with some charcoal. We cut about halfway through the connection between the sucker and mother plant and wait 2-3 weeks, then cut halfway through what’s left and wait again, checking for rooting. Eventually we cut the sucker free and establish it in a larger pot before field planting.
Our pollination process is simpler than the one in the Thai video. We remove the sheaths way before the female cones become receptive. When we see the flowers are pink then we pick male flowers that show pollen, tap them around the female cone shaking the pollen onto the flowers. We drape the male flower over the female and leave it like that.
This process seems arduous but goes quickly. Someone passes by every salak plant 3 times a week, removing dead material, cutting away sheaths on swollen female cones, and pollinating when necessary.
You can get some fruit by doing nothing but the more of this you carry out the more fruit you will harvest and the longer your harvest season will be, by far.
