FALL IS THE PERFECT SEASON FOR PLANTING SAGO PALMS!

The Sago Palm has evergreen, feather-like leaves that are arranged around the stem in a whorl, producing a symmetrical rosette of leaves three to four feet across. The Sago Palm has stiff, narrow leaflets are dark green on the upper surface with a single midrib down the center.  The Sago is a slow grower and can grow to more than 10 feet, some may even develop multi heads.  Sago Palms have the tropical appearance of a palm although it is actually a cycad.  You should allow your Sago palm to dry out in between waterings. If you are successful at growing cactus, watering this houseplant can follow the same schedule. The watering of a Sago Palm also should follow according to the amount of light they receive. If the Sago Palm is placed in an area with lower light levels, you may only need to water it every couple of weeks. If matured foliage begins to yellow you are probably over watering the plant.  The Sago is a pretty hardy plant. It doesn't seem to have a real temperature preference and does not have any humidity requirements. During dry months, a daily misting may add some extra lift to your plant. The only downfall to this houseplant is that they are extremely slow growers; so do not be discouraged if your plant doesn't appear to be growing. The Sago is seen all over the world, it is known as the most commercially grown palm in the world. The Sago accents any home or business landscape.
