Sago Palm Care & Issues - Cycas revoluta

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.
