Description

Sago Palms are surprisingly low maintenance. Whether you plant your Sago in your yard or you use it as a houseplant, you will love how easy this tropical plant is to grow. Sago Palms are even deer, pest, and disease resistant.

A crown of stiff, feathery leaves sits atop a chubby, textured, brown trunk. The leaves are deep green and shiny. This tree has an attractive, symmetrical form.

This palm-like tree is slow-growing and has a long life expectancy. While Sago Palms can reach heights over 10 feet this can take many years. These tend to widen more than grow in height so they often function more like a shrub than a tree in the landscape.

Sago Palms grow in full sun to part shade. Once established, your Sago is drought tolerant. Add our balanced, slow-release fertilizer when planting and in early spring for best results. Sago Palms are hardy in zones 8-11. Cooler climates can plant in containers and move them inside in the winter to enjoy them year after year.

Sago Palms are great indoor plants as well. Use a high-quality planting medium like PlantingTree brand potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the pot you are repotting from and make sure it drains well. Water your Sago Palm houseplant when the potting soil is beginning to dry and be sure it gets some sunlight. That's it - a little water, a little sun! So easy!

Sago Palms are the perfect gift for any occasion.
