Palm 6in King Sago

The Sago Palm actually isn\’t a true palm tree! It is a low-growing plant with long green fronds, known as a cycad, a group of ancient tropical and subtropical plants that usually grow from a trunk that doesn\’t branch out. It can produce nuts and is native to warm parts of Japan and southern China. This plant has a representative product photo and the item you will receive may not be exactly as shown.

Attributes Type: Tropical Height: 3 ft – 10 ft Spread: 3 ft – 10 ft Light: Bright IndirectWater: Moderate to LowZone: 9 – 10 Pet Safe: Toxic to humans and pets Care General Maintenance: The Sago Palm likes humidity so you will want to incorporate misting into your care routine. Use clean water from a spray bottle. Or set the plant container on a tray filled with water and pebbles. Avoid allowing the bottom of the pot to touch the water, to prevent root rot. Temperature: It is best to never allow your Sago Palm to be exposed to temperatures below zero, as these plants like it warm! Ideally, somewhere around 23 degrees Celsius is best. Light: While these palms need a warm and bright environment, harsh sunlight can damage the foliage. Place them in a location with plenty of bright indirect light, as too much shade will result in sparse leaves. Watering: Sensitive to overwatering and poorly draining soil, so allow the soil to dry out up to 50% before watering again. Ensure your pot has ample drainage holes. An unglazed terra cotta pot could also help. Soil: A well draining, sandy soil that is rich in organic matter will keep your Sago Palm happiest. A cactus mix potting soil can work well. Fertilizer: Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring to fall) with a liquid fertilizer, using an 18-8-18 ratio (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium), mixed according to the package directions.
