1. Sunlight

Sago Palms grow best in bright indirect light, but they can tolerate partial shade as well, making them great indoor palms. 

2. Water 

  • For the first month, water twice a week. After it is established, water once a week unless it rains. 
  • Watering needs to be thorough to make sure the bottom roots receive water at every watering.
  • Space out watering sessions so the roots are able to dry. 
  • The amount of water needed per palm per watering session is equivalent to the volume of the planting hole that was dug for each palm. This amount may range from 2 gallons for small containerized material to 15 gallons for larger palms.
  • Plants in a container need more constant watering than those planted on the ground.
  • Overwatering or bad drainage can cause permanent damage to the roots over time.
  • Placing mulch over the roots can help with water retention. Use caution not to allow the mulch to touch the base of the palm, otherwise it can cause rot.

Watering varies depending on the season and the outside temperature: 

Winter: (60 degrees or less) no need to water, except for the first 30 days after installation.

Spring: (75 degrees or less) water palm once a week.

Beginning of Summer: (90 degrees or less) 2-3 times a week.

Heat of Summer: (90 degrees and above) 4 times a week.

3. Fertilization

If planted outdoors, Sago Palms should be fertilized when newly planted and then three times a year in the Spring, Summer and Fall. If planted indoors, it needs only Spring and Summer fertilization.  

4. Soil 

Palms tolerate most soils, as long as they drain well. Add coarse sand to the soil mix to help it drain better at a 70/30 soil to sand ratio. 

5. Pruning 

Prune only dead or damaged fronds. Avoid removing any green or yellow leaves, as they are still producing nutrients for the plant. 

6. Winter Care 

Sago Palms are considered cold-hardy. However, If temperatures fall below 20°F, it is best to bring them indoors or protect the leaves with a frost cover.
