Sago Palm Care & Issues - Cycas revoluta
ฝัง

- All about the Sago palm! ..well not really, it's impossible to remember EVERYTHING. I left out the plant's country of origing (Japan), how big they get(huge but takes a long time) and i'm sure a lot of other things. This video is a brief run down on how to grow sago palm or how to grow cycas revoluta. These plants are the most commonly sold of the cycads for use as houseplants. Growing sago palms indoors is not hard, just don't overwater the plant and give them plenty of light.. oh! Another important thing i forgot to mention; keep the foliage clean of debris and dust. Make sure not to fertilize the sago palms during winter when grown indoors under average household conditons. If they are in an atrium or somewhere very warm (over 80F) then that is different. Caring for sago palms isn't too tricky, the main problems with sago palms is normally from nutrient deficiencies and pest like scale and mealy bug. !!!Sago palms are extremely toxic, keep them away from pets and anyone/thing that has a curious mouth!!! Fertilizing sago palms is important and I feel often overlooked. During the active growing season (when days are long and temps are warm) fertilize monthly with a well balanced palm fertilizer. Jacks classic makes a good fertilizer for palms that the sago palms seem to enjoy. I really wanted to go further in depth about deficiencies but it would have made the video too long. I can and will do another video just on deficiencies. in summary though, yellow fronds on sago palms can be indicative of a variety of nutrient deficiencies. Common deficiencies include, Nitrogen, magnesium and potassium. Part 2 of Growing Sago Palms will cover yellowing fronds. Yes, it deserves it's own video. Please send me any photos you have of your plants and their yellow fronds for me to use in that video! I would very much appreciate it! Can dm them to me on instagram or email them. My email is under the contact or about tab here on youtube. Part 3 of growing sago palms will cover issues with rot and pest.

Hey gardening friends! I wrote more about yellowing fronds in the description and will cover them in their own video. If you have issues with yellowing fronds send pics to me on insta or my email(under the about tab) so I can use them in the part 2 video covering deficiencies and troubleshooting. 😊
Didn't see your email under about tab.

Did you ever do a video on yellowing saga palm leaves Mine starts from center of leaves and works out to tips My tips are green still but the yellowing is starting to work out toward that way. They were really dry last time I watered so I'm wondering if its something else
They are in pots and were off a larger saga I've transplanted them in early fall last year just for info
Is 10 10 10 fertilizer okay
A lot of videos for a particular plant only address the basics and leaves one searching for more. This was well over that, thank you!!!
Thank you, Karen! Hope you are doing well!
This plant has been a part of my life since I was a child. My dad planted about twenty of them on our property before I was born and they're all still thriving to this day and we do nothing for them--they thrive on their own! They're at the age now where the males are sending out cones and the females are blooming, so lots of seeds for me! I live in PC and they completely survived the hurricane; very resilient plants! You are right that they grow slow!! Ours are all about 25 years old now and still only a few feet tall. Pruning them all is always a chore, haha. Very cool plants though! One of the first plants I learned about as a kid, so they're kinda special to me!
how long are those plants now ?
Where is “PC”?!
Explain your question pls
Ok just just got a Sago and this video guided me into the beautiful world of Cycads! Thank's😁👍🌴
went to buy loppers and ended up rescuing one of these palms and instant love....thanks for this video I will make sure to deal with debris so no dog has to
Thank you! Just had one gifted to me. Massachusetts... Now I know how to care for her.
thank you so much for this!
I am from the Pacific Northwest and we moved to Texas. I moved into a house that has a 27-year-old King Sago in the front yard that no one ever properly cared for in all its 27 years of life. I researched how to take care of him. He was a 1 foot tall shrub for all his life because no one cared for him, until 2016 when we moved in and I started caring for him. In that 4 years, he's grown 2 feet and he's given me 14 pups. He's now 3.5 feet tall with a visible trunk!
We are in the process of building our forever home and it will be ready in June of this year, but I realized I cannot bear to leave him behind. I decided today that I'm going to risk it and transplant him with all 14 of his pups to my new home. I've been studying transplant videos all day and according to most of the videos I've seen, if done with care, it can be done successfully and Sagos are some of the hardiest plants to transplant even at mature ages. The video I was just watching before yours had three 40-year-old Cycad sisters being moved to a new location and their transplant was a success. And these girls were all over 6 feet tall. Wish me luck! Your video was super helpful. After I (hopefully with success) transplant him, I am going to spoil him and his little family with all the tips in care that I learned from your video.
Did you move him? How did it go? I hope it is a happy part 2 (not ending) for all of you!! :)
@@M4R1N4 yes I did move him. The good news he is still alive. The bad news is he has not flourished. I think he is dormant and regrowing his root system.
It didn't help that sometime after I planted him, the neighbor's sprinkler system sprung an underground leak and my poor king was in standing water until I discovered the leak. He got root rot. I treated it immediately but most of the affected roots were the ones in recovery from transplant. I think that is contributing to his dormant state as well. He has not grown a frond in over a year, but he is still alive.
I gave away some of his pups, but he has 4 sons (pups) left, so at worst, if he doesnt make it, I will have him through his boys. But Im not discounting him just yet. I love him too much to give up.
Thank you for asking! :)
@@sunlightangel87 I have hope that he recovers and will live a longer life with his sons and you to care for him! With so much love and care, we can't help but be happy 😊 Thanks for sharing the update!
@@M4R1N4 Thank you! :)
I just bought this plant i love it, I live in San Diego so I'm learning about fertilizers. thank you, 😊
Me to in SD and in the same boat. Any advice ??
I JUST bought one this evening! I live in zone 9 here in the East San Francisco Bay area. We get Mediterranean weather here, with hot and dry summers and mild winters (no snow and rarely do we get frost). This tree is very unique. Even though it's not a real palm, it has a palm-lile appearance, which I find extremely attractive. I love palm trees but I live in an apartment, so this is perfect for my porch!
San Francisco is so pretty with some amazing gardens!
Got one of these for a birthday present; however was never told exactly what it was. Went through the yellowing fronds and thought it had died, but it recently sprouted three new growths. This time hopefully after watching this vid, I'll be better able to take care of it.
Hi
It's worth mentioning that they like! to be root bound they will grow better in an undersized pot, probably because it will drain more quickly...👍🙂
Thanks Jeff!! Just bought one today and was on the hunt for good video for it's care. I came across yours and was super excited. Thanks for the info love! Wish me luck!! 🥰🥰
Shaped like tube coral but on land, palm like fronds, trunk like a pineapple, new fronds like fern and grows a cone. Cycads are amazing plants.
Well said!
I live in Sacramento and planted a small one in my front yard many years ago and now it’s as tall as I am. It would appear that Sacramento is a good place to grow them.
Do you have them in direct sunlight or indirect light? I live in Sac too !
@@DanielGarcia-ov2rx In direct sunlight and it’s thriving.
Transplanted one of my grandfathers to the edge of my garden makes a nice tropical exotic look for a landlocked yard lol
Thank you. I recently visited a relative and they asked me if I wanted Sago palms. Yes I said. Give me a couple of small ones. After watching 4 videos, yours being the 4th, I learned much from yours. I live in zone 5, so I'll be potting them. I should have asked for one a little bit bigger and one small after learning about the slow growth rate.
I try to take your advice but I am still just 5'1" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... thanks to you my plant knowledge makes me feel 8' tall... great video
I've seen your plants on Instagram, you are doing great!😊😊😊
@@TropicalPlantParty 😊😊😊😊😊 compliments from the teacher !!!!
Tons of information. Very professional. Thanks for posting
I just found your videos and love your advice on growing Sega Palms. I got mine out of my daughter's trash, planted it and it grew like crazy. I needed great advice on how to keep it thriving and out of all the research I've done yours is the Best!!!! Thank You 😊🙏 Apex, Nc
1st time trying to grow this plant. It's beautiful n I appreciate all the information you have provided for me. Chances are I'll be calling back. Lol. Have a wonderful day and be safe
Thanks a lot. I just bought Cycas revoluta. A lot of interesting information here.
Walmart has a lot of their pots on clearance now. Hanging baskets for $5 each. Really big pots for $13 each. I bought several of each. And I got two ferns, my first, also on clearance. A much macho and a sun queen. Will pot them this weekend.
Nice haul! Lots of goodies!
Great informative video! A friend gave me three pups last year. When they finally leafed out, I gave two of them to my sister but kept my slow pouting sago. It's finally leafed out and living out back in the garden in a pot.
That's great! Don't you just love how cute they are when they are tiny!
@@TropicalPlantParty Yes, I thought they poor things were dead when no new leaves sprouted? It literally took months. I pulled one up to see what was going on, saw the roots, and shoved it back into the dirt. Thankfully, they all still grew... :D Happy 4th!
I live in Northeastern MA and I've kind of been obsessed with palm trees lately since there isn't a single one that normally grows here.
I have a Sago Palm in the mail like this one, a majesty palm downstairs, and some Mexican Fan Palm seedlings that are really struggling outside.
We are in Oklahoma so cold weather in here.. Ours do very well outside untill the temps drop.Usually we move ours in before Thanksgiving.Actually I am ot of room in the house so we left it out but we also most likely lost it.I have had it for about 5 years.Mine now and in the past are in large pretty pots .Seems they grow much larger as well..We keep it on the deck or under a huge tree, either way its thrives..Good luck with yours..
Never knew these weren't palms! Neat
😁😁😁
what do you mean these aren't palms?
This was the perfect level of detail i needed for my new sago palm! Thank you~ 😊🙏🏾
Love you thanks for your help with my plants
I have a love hate relationship with these. There’s a 6 foot sago in my yard, however whenever I do my yearly trimming I always will end up full of cuts. But it’s a beautiful specimen in my yard, and as long as it’s there I’ll deal with it.
Oh yeah! Very spiky! I get lots of cuts from my larger one also!
Thank Goodness for gloves. 🤷♂️🤣
Thanks!😊👍
At last a helpful video that explains how to feed and fertilise these amazing plants...
I found ants throughout the root system. Didnt panic. Removed cycas from pot, gently brushed off the loose earth, keeping the root-ball covered by its original earth, i.e. i didn't disturb the root ball. Frankly, i blasted the roots with common domestic soray for ants and bugs, left it lying sideways on the garden table, whilst I totally cleaned out its terracotta pot ( v. important step, this). Ensured decent drainage using smashed up terracotta pieces, then potting soil ( i actually used geranium soil, couldn't find proper palm/ cycas soil) . Gently sprayed the roots with warm ( not hot) water for about 10 seconds, and replanted. No watering for 2 weeks, then a diluted liquid cycad fertilizer once per month till mid August, after which I stopped. I bring it indoors in winter if temperatures are set to go to 4 celsius or lower.
Thanks! I recently bought a house with one and I have been curious how to take care of it.
Fertilize with epsom salt.
I have a sago palm that I bought from my local Homebase which is similar to Home depot, a few months ago the foliage had small yellow dots like all of them for sale and some browning. I have put it in soil that dries after a few hours after watering and have been feeding it miracle gro, the foliage is green but nothing has grown from the middle yet. It gets sun in and off throughout the day and a few hours of pure July sun, temperatures varie from 65-90f averaging around 70-75f.
Sounds like you are doing everything right. When the plant is ready it should throw out some new fronds for ya. 😊
Oh my gosh thank you so much your my hero.and my plant guru .i love your videos there vary helpful.ive tryed so hard before i started watching your videos to find help for my sago palm and you cant find any on youtube .till you came along .i watch all your videos and love them all thank you for takeing time to really care about your viewers
Lol! Thank you brenda! I'm hopeful this was of some help to you. 😊
@@TropicalPlantParty you have been a big help thank you so much cant wait till the next video comes out ill be watching for it
They do just fine in Seattle, rain-wise. Your comment denotes a common misconception about Seattle. While Seattle has a lot of rainy days, the AMOUNT of rain is moderate. Receiving on average 39 inches annually, Seattle's average is behind Chicago and New York City, and far behind the rainiest cities in the US. Mobile, Alabama is the rainiest city in the continental United States, receiving over 5 feet of rain annually.
Beautiful..
very informative video. am applying some of the concepts in Zimbabwe, Chimanimani
Well hello! I bet you have or get to see some amazing plants and gardens in Zimbabwe!
Thank you for the nice hints!
We had 18 leafs sprout last year. It was cray cray.
Hello! I have had a sago palm also for a year..
Exactly what I was looking for 👌
Omg, you definitely got that palm at lowes because, i have that SAME EXACT POT FOR MINE 😂
🤣 I was just saying that while watching.
It can kill your dogs....
Hi Jeff, thanks for the video! I have a Sago Palm I've had for maybe 10 months and it's only put out 2 leaves and I thought this was low glad to hear that's normal (Mine is tiny smaller than your hand) 😊🍃
Oh that sounds adorable!
@@TropicalPlantParty I just uploaded a photo onto Instagram with my key in the second photo for size reference if you'd like to have a look 😊 #adorablesagopalm
Great video, but I would recommend wearing gloves when repotting, because I stuck myself with a frond and the pain was worst than a bee sting, my hand started swelling and the veins in my hand looked like they were going to explode. Just a suggestion. Still a great video.
Can you tell the gender of the sago tree while it’s still a baby? Or will I have to wait 3-4 years?
Nice Jeff, but I don't think I want to try this plant indoors, I have two kitties and don't want to chance anything harming them. Plus I don't really have the room for even a small one. Great video Jeff, I learned a lot from this video, they are a beautiful plant but not for me. thanks again, have a great weekend see you soon, bye for now.
I'm my experience sago palms preferred light is part shade.
My sago sprouted beautiful new leaves but some dried & curled .
Wanted to know what to do ?
Very nice garden 👏👏
when you transfer plant to another larger planter do you leave root ball above the surface of the dirt??
I leave in Dallas Fort Worth area so temps are hot with a lot of heat
Thanks man. I live in El Paso so this plant is pretty much perfect for me. Love your channel btw.
Quick Question-about How much water should i put in my potted sago palm? Im kind of new to these and i dont want to put too much...
Thank you. This helped me alot
I planted one in the ground here in Dayton Ohio about the same size as the one in your video and it survived 2 winters but unfortunately it ended up dying of root rot in early summer
Nice
Video...
There is a variant of Cycas Revoluta that develops yellow or golden leaf tips, If so for an individual, I wouldn’t worry to much.
A lot of these growing in savannah Georgia. They like that climate.
funny how I was just looking at a sago palm today at lunch break. I didn’t purchase it and now that I’ve seen your video, I’m glad I didn’t 😝 Too finicky for me. But it’s a really beautiful plant if you are a skilled gardener
Lol! I don't know if they are all that finicky or just so common that we hear about the problems a lot because so many people have them. Sometimes they grow effortlessly and others can be a pain in the butt.
Start out with a small one, Wal-Mart has them for $6 , not too bad of a splurge
I didn't use any fertilizer when I transplanted mine. The Miracle Grow palm/cactus mix supposed to be already adjusted. I have 2 fertilizers I normally use. Dr Earth & Hollytone. I mix half & half. Both are organic slow release fertilizers.
I have some yellow new growth, I cut off all the old growth and now I have all new growth standing straight up in the air and slightly yellow, could it be water or nutrient deficiency? my plant is outdoor in California and the soil is slightly hard.
in Sacramento area, pH is something to pay attention to.
I have a sago that has grown wide and it branched out like a Mohawk, can I split it in half and have two? Or will that kill the whole plant?
Mine turned yellow and I cut all the dead off before winter. It stays outside all spring summer and inside winter. It looks so bad with no leaves. I hope it survives. Any tips? My grandparents planted it in a pot 1973 and passed it down to me. I am desperate to keep it alive.
My sago has a huge large yellow ball coming up in center it looks like a basket ball size of new growth. It is a largegrowth..is that normal
I would like to know if my 2 large Segos are alive after our last extreme winter in Texas. It’s now end of April and the crown is still brown with no apparent new growth. One has 2 pups with new green growth, but the mother plant doesn’t. I see other Segos in my neighborhood with green new growth on the crown. Should I assume mine are dead? Is it possible to have alive pups from a dead mother Sego? Please advise.
Hi Denise! Oh im so sorry, the Texas freeze was devastating! If the main trunk/caudex is still firm, then it is safe to assume it still alive. Might help to give it a good fertilizing and see if thar helps spring it back into action.
I have been getting these at Lowes every weekend in the marbled terra cotta pots for 50 cents. Once the fronds have turned completely yellow they discount them for me, down from $7.98. I really like the pots and this particular type of plant has never really been my thing but I enjoy trying to save plants if I can. I planned to just cut all the fronds off, water them (they're completely dry) and set them in a south facing window sill for some rehab time. The first one I got she threw away so I didnt get to try it (i told her it was the pot i was really interested in hoping they wouldn't get too suspicious and refuse to discount 🤣) but this weekend I got another and brought the plant home as well. I was wondering if lack of proper light might be cause of the yellowing? It is happening to them all one by one and they are still inside. I really dont think they have even been watered since being to the store. What do you think?
Hey Jeff! :) I have a (maybe?) nerdy confession to make. When I saw a new video from you on my home page I actually screamed , "YEA!!!!! " so loudly I woke up (and probably scared the crap outta) my 3 cats. lol I'm always so excited when I see a new video from you! I love all of them, especially the long ones. I watch them all several times. Oh! I just remembered! I've noticed that you and I have the same taste in pots. We both have so many of the same ones. I think it was in your last video when you were potting a plant in a turquoise ceramic hanging 'basket' that hung from a rope with beads on it. You said you'd bought it from WalMart several months before. I LOL'D because I have the same one that I bought from WalMart several months ago, also. I planted a spider plant in mine. I've also been meaning to ask you if you are still having problems with ants on/in your hot tub. I have a great remedy for getting rid of them. First make sure there aren't any goodies they're going after. If so, get rid of it and clean the area where it was. Then sprinkle cinnamon on the ants (all of them). Wait for a lil bit then go back, clean off the cinnamon and all the dead ants. Then spray a mixture of water and bleach on their trail to get rid of the scent they follow so no more come back. (You could also just spray the water/bleach mixture on a cloth and wipe it down) This has always worked wonderfully for me. :) Also? I've been wanting to tell you for a while now how happy it makes me to see how happy it makes you to visit/vacation where I spent vacation every summer growing up - PCB and Destin. The reason traffic is like it is there, why there's so much of it and it's so slow is because everyone is checking out and yelling/flirting with the girls and guys walking on the side of the road. At least that's how it used to be. lol My older sister lives in PCB and complains about the traffic all the time. Sago Palms. I love them so much! They're all over the place where I come from and are so beautiful. Thanks so much for making a video on their care. You constantly amaze me on your knowledge! I know this is long...sorry. But I haven't been able to comment for a lil bit and had so much to say. lol I hope I haven't broken any rules. Please keep your wonderful videos coming. I love every one of them. You're so awesome!
Lol! Well hello Dawn! 🤣😂🤣😂 I love and appreciate your enthusiasm! Oh the ants are long gone. I just hit them and the surrounding area with diluted peppermint oil, quick and easy! My older sister lives around PCB area also! Small world! Omg the driving! It's not actually as bad along the beach in the tourist area, it's the locals! Omg! Lol!
I had a sago palm many years ago. I think it lived a year. It's a beautiful shape, but I just don't have the indoor light and experience (i.e. patience) for it. Thanks for the vid!
Happens a lot with the sagos. Thank you!
Tropical Plant Party Your video was preceded by a 3-minute ad for Dr. Squatch Hand Soap. It was very funny.
King sago in full sun. Any special care? Planted 4 king sago in direct sun last year. Frond tops facing sun have partially browned, others good.
They grew fast indoors I left them accidentally in a dark space after 3days it have three shoots
Question. I live in Florida. I recently had an Asian white scale issue where I had to cut off every single frond. Will it flush again before next spring? It’s almost September now and I cut them all off the beginning of August.
It might flush again. If you still have a few months of growing left before the cooler winter months then you can always fertilize it to help it get going again.
Thank you. Fantastic video! My Saga is potted and getting bigger than I want. It there a proper way to safely prune it stay small?
4 years ago, seeds from our neighbors sago palm flew into our yard and sprouted. We had to cut it back this year bcus it became a full on tree and way too big!!
My houseplants are your weeds!
I REALLY doubt that its a "full on tree" within a few years time. Sure after 50 plus YEARS the become fully grown and can reach heights of 10' - 12' but NOT in just a few years....They can go on to live over 100 years old AKA they will all out live us. lol
I have three new branches coming up and they are now not growing and turned brown. But still feel soft and not brittle. What do I do. My plant is several years old and I have repotted it this spring. Stays in the house in the winter and on my front porch during the summer. I have never fertilized it. Help. Do I cut these new branches off?
I hear some people put coffee grounds in the soil. Would this be good since they're on the acidic side?
I usually only suggest coffee grounds if they have been brewed and rinsed multiple times to make certain all traces of caffeine are gone. It's risky, caffeine can kill plants, but plenty of people do it and have no issues.
How about using diatomaceous earth for the bug problem!
Hey friends: my sago palm was super healthy green (vertical) in the pot early this year (Jan, FEb) and now it has become brown dropping. Not sure what is wrong - can someone help?
I have a sago in the front yard, it's under the outer canopy of an oak tree. The "trunk" is about 4' tall. For 2 years now it's not had ANY foliar growth, completely nakey... The year prior it had a white fuzzy coating ALL over the foliage. But to my surprise today I noticed new growth!!! Do I fertilize it now?? (Late June central Florida.) Do I spray it with neem to ward off anything?? I'm clueless about sago's unfortunately, your video helped, but I'm still wondering the above. I have to bring this lil fella back to glory as it was my mother in law's and she passed away a month ago. I know I've left out details, but hopefully you can help.
Mine might be dead. Had it for a while, no new growth, use Promix Cactus. I didnt want to overwater so have been keeping it cactus dry. I will try more water see if it helps
My Sago palm is my favorite plant I only feed him with a slow release food once a year should I be doing it more often he is in a south window with sheer curtains i don’t set him outside as where I live we have a lot of stray dogs
Heather Reilley you know when people love their plant when they gender them 😂
Casey Parr I do love them in a world where every thing is so unsure even scary they have become my family my best friends even as I have anxiety an they help ☺️
I have a sago Palm, and the top of it got injured by some means don't know how and it started growing extra heads like one to the left 1 to the right 1 in between around the other side as well, at the top and it looks deformed. I call it my special sago palm . Can you send me information on how I can save it? Fix it, make it look normal. Because I had them side by side in the front of my home and now it looks completely morphed out and ugly
💚
Please talk about crispy sagos that need manganese to correct.
Thanks for great video. I just had one gifted to me and I love it. I am having a problem with yellowing and according to your video I may be over watering? It is the same size as the one in the video. We have been having some warmer days (70-80) so I've been putting it on my patio during the day and bringing it in at night. I've been watering lightly approximately once a week in a well draining pot. Does that sound about right?
Sounds right to me, as long as the surface of the soil is dry before watering and it isn't staying wet for too long. With cooler temps they don't need to be watered as much.
I live in Chicago and just bought 4 baby Sagos. What's the best treatment for them in the Chicago/midwest climate?
Ive seen them survive to about 28 f overnight min. But they can damage with prolonged temps like this or many nights. They get big for indoor but look elegant.
sago palms are everywhere here!! Do u know why my aunt's sago palm has some yellow spots on the leaves??? Could it be scale or spider mites? (my aunt has her sago palm outside all year round, we're zone 10b and really really dry)
Hi Manuel! Yellow spotting is from deficiencies like nitrogen, magnesium or potassium. I'd start with a balanced palm fertilizer that contains potassium and magnesium (they all usually have plenty of nitrogen) and see if that helps. Soft scale look like little flecks of cotton, same with mealy bugs. Hard scale look like 3d dots on the foliage.
@@TropicalPlantParty thank you for the tip!! I'll look out for scale and mealys but i don't think that's the case though cause its pretty windy in my area.... about the palm fertilizer , where i can find one? I've never had to fertilize a palm or a cycad or never heard of someone in my area fertilizing one (mostly because of our volcanic soil which is full of nutrients).It thought about espoma but idk where to find it.
Does pot size matter? I noticed most of the sago’s are in smaller pots. Just curious.
I have been given 2 fully grown sago palms. When I transplant do I water them until it reestablishes itself?
💚💚💚
😁😁😁😁
I am in zone 6a, BUT, I have a greenhouse, I just got it this past fall, and I am able to heat it up to at the COLDEST temp in winter being 39F, so, that SHOULD be a zone 8b or 9a, right? I can SURELY grow a Sago in a pot, right? I can't seem to find a hardiness zone right now, without leaving this page here online. Finding a Sago will be easy as soon as the spring or summer arrives they will be everywhere in stores. I am concerned about how much sun they can take and heat, my greenhouse can REALLY heat up when the sun is out. I will possibly need to use an AC unit that needs NO outlet to cool it off when it is still too cold to put the plants outside. My greenhouse hasn't got enough vents in it, it can get REALLY hot quickly, just some sun when it is 50F outside can make the GH 100F inside, I am NOT joking. I guess the Sago's can be cheap enough for me to buy another one IF 1 gets "cooked" to death. I MAY need to use "shade cloth" on some plants. I have seen these in stores growing great under store flourescent lights, BUT, I would wonder HOW can they do great in THAT setting? I mean, they could be doing great after 2 months of the store lights. I will try and grow one and hope it doesn't hate being in mostly sun or full sun in my greenhouse until the threat of cold temps is over with. And after THAT I would try it in full sun. Me being in zone 6a Pa, MY full sun would NOT be like a Southern Full sun would be of course.
When I said about plants maybe being "cooked to death" I say that because I had a LIve oak potted that WAS 'cooked to death" literally in my greenhouse, I had it in there for about 14 hours before I went in to check on it, IT was COOKED to death.
Anyway, I loved your video it helped me to realize that I can grow the Sago palm as far as overwintering it in my greenhouse.
Thanks for this informative video!:) my plant currently has new babies but they only seem to be growing “spikes” at the top of the new leaf and not the bottom. Any idea what can be causing this? It’s happened before where once there were fully grown it only has spiky leaves at the top . Also, is it ok to repot during new growth?
One of my Sago’s green fronds is broken, and I’m wondering what I should do? Given the extreme slow growth, I’m reluctant to cut it off fully...
My plant leaves are turning yellow all of them. Are they dying? Can they come back?
What are the spikes growing on my sago palm ?
I bought one last summer. I still can't figure out if it likes full sun or shade. It seems the one I have doesn't exactly enjoy full sun. I don't know. Someone know?
How long it takes to give leaves ..
Miami University is in Oxford, Ohio whereas the University of Miami is in Coral Gables, Florida (not Miami, actually).
My sago did not winter over well at all. The UV light I got didn't work at all. Just put it back outside today and trimmed all of the leaves off (they all looked dead) like an idiot. :( my poor sago probably won't make it. He was 6 yrs old. Also, I live in an apartment complex, so I can't do this rinse unless I try to do it in the shower :(
good、sycas👍
Do you think I'm able to revive it all I have is just the middle cork??
