Sago Palm

The Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) is a striking and ancient plant that resembles a palm tree but belongs to the Cycad family. Native to Japan and other parts of Asia, the Sago Palm is appreciated for its dramatic and symmetrical appearance, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor landscaping.

How to Care for Sago Palm:

1. Light: Place in bright, indirect light for best growth. Sago Palms can tolerate some shade, but they prefer well-lit locations.

2. Temperature: Provide a warm environment between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Sago Palms are sensitive to cold temperatures and can be damaged by frost.

3. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Sago Palms are drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dryness.

4. Soil: Use well-draining soil to prevent waterlogged roots, as excessive moisture can cause root rot.

5. Fertilization: Fertilize sparingly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
