Sago Palm Care Guide ## Light Placement: Provide bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate some direct morning sun, harsh afternoon rays may scorch the stiff fronds. Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure even growth. ## Watering Protocol: These plants are drought-tolerant and highly susceptible to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. During winter dormancy, reduce watering significantly. ## Soil and Drainage: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Ensure the container has ample drainage holes. ## Temperature: Prefers consistent temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing near cold drafts or heating vents. ## Common Issues: Yellowing leaves are often a sign of overwatering or a lack of nutrients like magnesium. If the center of the plant turns mushy, it is likely suffering from rot.
