Botanical name: Cycas Revoluta 
Common name: Sago Palm
 
OWNER STATUS 
Don’t overwater me and keep giving some of that good morning light. (Novice)
 
DESCRIPTION
Foliage: 
Feathery, large quill-like green fronds. Definitely a conversation piece and unique addition to your ever growing plant family. Although palm is in the name, it is not a true palm. It is a member of the cycads genus – which dates back to when dinosaurs and Keith Richards roamed the earth. 
Size: 
As houseplants, these slow growers will reach about 2 feet in height when mature. They do need room to allow for their wide fronds. 
 
CARE
Light: 
Bright light, but not direct sunlight is key for the Sago. If you notice an almost bleaching effect on my fronds, this may be a sign of too much direct light. Move it away from the direct light source to help it recover. 
Water: 
These plants do not respond to over watering. Allow the soil to dry out partially between. The Sago does like regular fertilizing, every two months to ensure optimal health. Does well in a humid environment and will enjoy misting when the air is dry. 
Soil: 
Light, well draining soil. A cactus potting soil would work well. 
 
TOXICITY
Humans: 
Toxic. 
Pets: 
Toxic, keep Mrs. Nibbles away
