Sago Palm,
Cycas revolutaPLANT CARE GUIDE
Placement
Place your Sago Palm in a room that gets plenty of natural light, within 3 feet of a window. Make sure your window has a sheer curtain to filter the light since direct sunlight can cause the leaves to discolor. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.
Light Requirements
The Sago Palm needs 4 to 6 hours of filtered sunlight each day. Avoid direct sunlight.
Watering Needs
Water the Sago Palm only when the soil is nearly dry. When watering, water the plant with fresh water lightly and slowly from above, then tip out any excess water. Mist the leaves occasionally and reduce watering during the cold season.
Temperature Preferences
Does well at room temperature between 60°F - 77°F. Cold temperatures should be avoided.
Humidity Tolerance
Prefers higher levels of humidity, around 75% or above. If the air around the plant is too dry, use a humidifier or occasionally mist the plant to increase humidity.
Repotting Needs
The plant can live happily in the provided pot for up to a year. Repot when the roots have become overgrown, or the plant has grown too large. Use a sandy, quick-draining soil, or a cactus potting mix. Repot every 1-2 years. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.
Unhealthy Plant Signs
Spotted or soft leaves may be a sign of overwatering. Remove old, yellow leaves with gardening shears and be sure to sterilize your tools after pruning the plant.
Toxicity
Be extra cautious with this plant around small children or pets. If ingested, may cause a harmful reaction in people and pets. Handling of sap, soil, and seeds may also cause allergic reactions.
