    This can happen if the potting material stays too moist. This will cause a rot issue, and will stop all rooting. Gently remove them and check to see if they have rooted. If so, replant them. Watch the watering while they are trying to form roots. The soil should be slightly moist.

    These have separate male and female plants, so if you do not have both a male and a female, then those seeds will not mature, and will not be viable. You may cut the flowering pod off at any time.

    I would wait until it makes enough of a recovery to look somewhat normal again. Transplanting now would likely result in the plant having to work extra hard to regenerate, and adapt to the new environment. If you are able to wait, then you will be better off to do so.

    Depending on the spot color, shape, and location, This could either be a fungal issue, or a deficiency. I am more inclined to say fungal issue. In this case, you can add some wettable sulfur to the soil to kill any infection, plus dolomitic lime to balance the pH.

    Hopefully your sago has pups. This will make it much easier to save. You can prune off a pup and start it as a new plant. It is more than likely suffering from an infection. It is easy to over-water these, but it is best to remember that these will enjoy being dry for a few days between waterings.

    You can try to kill off the existing infection with wettable sulfur, but it may be too far advanced to kill off. The plant will more than likely have a replacement pup starting if the main shoot has been damaged beyond repair.

    This appears to be the flowering mass of the female flowers. This is no cause for concern. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/sago-palm/sago-palms-flower.htm

    This is a hard question... They don't handle freezes very well... You should wait until you see new growth before you cut off anything dead.
