Sago Palm is a prehistoric plant with a bold, sculptural look. It features dark green, feathery fronds that fan out from a textured, bulbous trunk. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm but a cycad—one of the oldest plant groups on Earth. This slow-growing, low-maintenance plant brings a touch of tropical elegance to any space.
Care Instructions: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. Water when the top inch of soil dries out, being careful not to overwater, as it is highly drought-tolerant. No pruning is needed aside from removing old leaves. Fertilize in spring and summer for best growth.
Caution: Sago Palm is toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If ingestion is suspected, contact the Animal Poison Control Center at 888.426.4435.
