Why are my sago palm leaves yellowing? I put it down about two months ago.?
Hi! I got this from the website listed below.....
"Be aware that the natural course of leaves on plants, including palms and cycads, is first green, then turning yellow, and finally brown and dry
The yellow stage is where the frond is losing its chlorophyll as it is being re-absorbed into the plant. The final brown stage is the completion of the nutrients re-absorption process
So... if you cut off sago fronds too soon, you are actually depriving your sago palm of its natural technique to conserve nutrients. Best is to wait until a frond is totally brown and shriveled up small
The exception to not being worried about yellow or brown fronds on your sago palm is if they are occurring in the center "new growth" area
If new fronds soon turn yellow and head for brown, you have a nutrition problem. You are not feeding properly. Sometimes a sago may take a year or two or more to develop the "quick yellowing" symptom. Don't let that fool you. Food is the answer
Bugs may also be the problem, but not nearly as likely as improper feeding. Poor drainage may also be the problem, but not if your sago palm is well established in its location. Newly planted in your soil or a pot, poor drainage is a suspicion. A final suspicion for a newly planted sago is that you planted it too deep"
Reply:the real questions are: is a container palm or in the ground. If in ground what zone? If in zones 9 or 10 we have a very serious Sago Palm disease, killing them off. If in the ground the disease lives under ground, not on the leaves. It feeds on the leaves. You have to remove the soil, spray with copper, place some soil back, and spray again, doing so for about 8" deep. I would be interested in your zone, as there is a tracking for this disease, to follow it's spread in Fl.

Why is my sago palm turning yellow?
More plants are killed from overwatering than from underwatering. Especially in winter. Since the days are shorter and it's cooler (even for plants indoors), plant growth slows considerably. This means they need less water to survive.
You might also have root rot (because of the excess water, especially if the pot sat in a saucer or closed pot with standing water in it). You'll know if you do - the roots smell like poo. If so, you should flush the soil with fresh water for about 15 minutes, allowing the pot to drain completely. Then don't water it for at least a couple of weeks to let it dry.
I would suggest repotting to help fix the root rot. But, if your sago is as tall as mine (about 6 feet), that's almost impossible with all those thorns.

because you are watering it too much.put your finger in your plant about 1/2 inch if it is still wet your plant does not need no more water if it is dry water it.you have been watering it sure sighn when a plant starts to turn yellow over watering it.
Reply:its one of the two, toomuch water or not enough, usualy it will wilt if it doesn't have enough water, so you probably water it toomuch, but i have something similer and it's now turning yellow too, it needed water desperatly.

20 year old Sago Palm has a new emerged 8 inch size ball in its center- What is it ?
Sounds like you have a female Sago that is in it's reproductive cycle:
"As with other cycads, the Sago Palm has either male or female cones (the reproductive part of a cycad). Male cones protrude and are shaped like a cone or torpedo, whereas females are "cabbage" shaped and are gold or tan-yellow in color. The female cone will slowly open up when receptive to pollen. "

I have a sago palm bonsai plant, very small. How often should I water it?
The pebbles are glued down into the pot. No soil is visible. I am currently watering it once a week and only a small amount of water at that. Am I underwatering or overwatering?
I have a sago palm bonsai plant, very small. How often should I water it?
Bonsai trees need extra water and nutrients, because they are kept in such small containers.
I own many, and I need to water them at least once per day, usually. (they're outside, so the wind plays a part in their dryness).
I also fertilize once a month, so be prepared to do that as well.
Do not stick your finger into the pot.
The pots are so shallow that the roots run very close to the surface and you could damage them. just feel the top of the soil.
As for the rocks, they are decorative, and you do not need to remove them. In fact, they are a necessary part of the soil, keeping it from drying out too quickly.
Reply:The pebbles are mainly there to prevent soil from falling out during transportation of the bonsai. Now that you've got it home, these need to be removed. They can endanger the health of your bonsai by preventing water intake and by harboring pests underneath.
You don't want to over- or underwater it. Stick your finger in the soil to test it.

Reply:I think what you need is a special care for your Bonsai, and not only watering it. Warm water is the best, but you need to water it not when you want to but when it want to. Check the soil and make sure it is a bit dry, otherwise if it is moisture then don't water it yet. I found this site to be useful for you. You can get "Bonsai Gardening Secrets" eBook that gives all the details that you need and more.

Why does my SAGO Palm have yellow leaves?
It's probably the soil or the situation of the plant, heres what i think + general advice:
This problem maybe the result of poor drainage and the lack of soil aeration due to improper soil structure. Most garden soils become compacted with time some plants grow poorly in compacted soil.
Water well in the growing season and water less over the winter months. Misting when out of sunlight will keep the needles from browning at the tips.
Feeding: A liquid feed every four to five weeks over the growing season.

From the inside out. What is wrong with it?

OLD LEAVES MAY TURN YELLOW from over watering or too much fertilizer.
NEW LEAVES MAY TURN YELLOW from excess fertilizer or poor soil conditions.
Note: Once leaves turn yellow or brown, they should be removed from the plant.

Care of a sago palm in canada?
Do you have it outdoors or indoors?
I love growing semi-hardy palms and Cycads - the Sago palm, in my northern garden. But, it is a struggle when fall arrives, as frosts can kill them, alongside too much damp, causing rot - or the double shock of both alternating.
I'd choose a sheltered warm micro-climate for your plants, perhaps a raised bed, allowing drainage to be more free. This will prevent the chance of any rot during the summer etc. You can also provide a bark mulch, which will help keep nutrients within the growing area.
Think about winter protection - you can build a structure to house them, perhaps wooden, covered in garden fleece, and filled with some dry leaves or straw. Overall, the enclosure must not get too wet, or you could find your plants rotting. It's good to have some air movement through an enclosure like this, as this prevents the air from becoming too stagnant.
Another option is to plant your plants within pots, that you could then lift come fall, moving them to a sheltered enclosure, or even inside the house.

They don't like frost- make sure you don't let it freeze.
Let the soil slightly dry between waterings.
