King Sago Palm Live Plant – 20 to 25″ Height – Tropical Indoor and Outdoor Cycad

Bring Ancient Sophistication with a King Sago Palm

Looking for a touch of the exotic? The king sago palm (Cycas revoluta) is your answer. Native to southern Japan, this plant is known for its feathery foliage and ease of care, making it a great choice for beginners. Add an interesting, tropical flair to any room or even your outdoor space.

Sago palms are slow-growing, making them perfect container plants. They thrive outdoors in warmer months, bringing ancient sophistication to your patio or garden. In cooler climates, easily transition your cycad indoors as a houseplant, enjoying its tropical vibe year-round. Just bring your sago palm plant back outside when temperatures rise!

These live sago palm plants prefer bright light but can tolerate low-light conditions. Be cautious of overwatering; they thrive in well-drained soil and prefer to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Regular monthly fertilizing will encourage vigorous health and sago palm blooms, though blooms may take several years in containers.

Generally problem-free, Cycas revoluta may occasionally exhibit yellowing. Older leaves naturally turn yellow and then brown as the plant conserves nutrients. However, yellowing on new growth could indicate a nutrient deficiency, so be sure to fertilize regularly.

• Easy to care for, making it perfect for beginners.
• Slow growth rate, ideal for container gardening.
