Cycas revoluta aka Sago Palm

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Sago Palm, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Sago Palm should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Sago Palm loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

During the wintertime, it is common for Sago Palm plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

The Sago Palm does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

The Sago Palm is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Sago Palm’s native range is Old World.
