Sago Palm

AED 90.00 – AED 240.00

Sago palms are not difficult to grow and maintain, but they do require some specific growing conditions. They appreciate a warm and bright environment, though harsh sunlight can damage the foliage. They also like humidity, which can be created by misting them regularly with clean water from a spray bottle. You also can place the plant container on a tray filled with water and pebbles, as long as the bottom of the pot isn’t touching the water. Sago palms prefer bright, indirect light. When grown indoors, choose a bright east-, west-, or south-facing window. Indoor plants can be moved outside in warm weather, as long as the container is placed in dappled sunlight placing in direct sunlight, especially hot afternoon sun in the summertime, which can wilt and burn the foliage. Sago palms have some drought tolerance, but they prefer a moderate amount of moisture in the soil. Fertilize monthly throughout the growing season (spring to fall) with a liquid fertilizer. Or use a slow-release fertilizer two to three times during the growing season.

Sago Palm, scientifically known as Cycas revoluta, is not a true palm but a cycad, a group of ancient seed plants. Here are some key points about the Sago Palm:

Characteristics of Sago Palm:

  • Appearance: It features a thick, stout trunk topped with a crown of feathery, arching leaves that can grow up to 3 feet long.
  • Growth Rate: Slow-growing, often taking many years to reach its full height of about 3 to 10 feet (0.9 to 3 meters).
  • Reproductive Structures: Produces cones rather than flowers. Male plants produce a cylindrical cone, while female plants produce a larger, rounder cone.

Care Tips of Sago Palm:

  1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
  2. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
  3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one designed for cacti or succulents.
  4. Humidity: Can adapt to average household humidity but appreciates higher humidity levels.
  5. Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures (70°F to 90°F or 21°C to 32°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.
  6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth.

Common Issues:

  • Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or scale. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap if necessary.
  • Leaf Yellowing: Can be a sign of overwatering, poor drainage, or nutrient deficiency.

Toxicity:

It’s important to note that all parts of the Sago Palm are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, especially the seeds. Symptoms of toxicity can include vomiting and liver damage.

Uses:

  • Ornamental: Widely used as a decorative plant in gardens and landscapes, particularly in warmer climates.
  • Cultural Significance: In some cultures, the Sago Palm has historical and symbolic importance.

The Sago Palm is a stunning plant that adds a touch of the exotic to any space
