A landscape accent in warm climates, Sago Palms
are also exotic houseplants. Young plants resemble ferns, slowly grow a
thick trunk, and eventually develop a palm like appearance after decades
of growth. Cycas are pseudo palms, actually being a member of the conifer
family. Interestingly, this ancient species is one of the few survivors
of the prehistoric dinosaur age.
These long-lived plants tolerate neglect or thrive
with attention, adapt to bright indoor light or full sun, and have a wide
temperature range from 15 to 120 degrees. A slow growth rate allows most
indoor specimens to remain in the same container indefinitely. Treat as
a cactus - water when almost dry and seldom fertilize.

Sago Pups
We harvest rootless Sago pups (offsets) from our "field momas" each spring.
All leaves are removed (or they would take moisture from the pup bulb before
it grows new roots).
2"
pup for 4" pot ~ 3" pup for 5" pot ~ 4" pup for
6" pot
Simply plant in a pot slightly larger than the bulb size, water when
soil is almost dry, and within a few months, leaves will sprout along with
roots. When the Sago is rootbound in the starter pot, jump or move
up to a larger container. This is a great way to have a big specimen
Sago at low cost.
