The Sago Palm, despite its name, is not a true palm—it is a cycad, an ancient plant species that dates back to the time of the dinosaurs. It is prized for its tropical, ornamental look, slow growth, and hardy nature, making it a popular choice for landscaping.
Growth Habit: Bold, arching, tropical 8-12 ft high by 6-8 ft wide
Native Origin: Japan, Southeast China
Hardiness Zone: 8-11
Environmental Needs: Full Sun, Bright Indirect Light
Growth Rate: Very Slow
Maintenance: For the first month, water twice a week. After it is established, water once a week unless it rains. Prune only dead or damaged fronds. Avoid removing any green or yellow leaves, as they are still producing nutrients for the plant. If planted outdoors, Sago Palms should be fertilized when newly planted and then three times a year in the Spring, Summer and Fall.
