Sago recipes?
SABBARISI PAYASAM:
Ingredients required
1. sago 25 gm
2. ghee 4 table spoons
3. milk 500 gm
4. sugar 150 gm
5. cashew nut 25 gm

Procedure
Prepare for the garnishing. Powder the cardamom after removing the outer skin. Grind the inner black granules to a fine powder and keep aside.
Roast the cashew nuts in ghee. Take three spoons of ghee and cashew nuts in a pan and roast them on slow fire. When they turn golden brown remove them from the ghee and keep aside.
Prepare the dessert. Roast sago in the same ghee. Cook it in half a glass of water. After it is cooked add milk and sugar and let it boil. Usually only cashew nuts and cardamom powder are added to this Pāyasam. Cover it and keep it aside for 5 mts.
Now the delicious dessert, Sabbarisi Pāyasam, is ready to serve.
Reply:The recipes here I post are dessert recipes, sago is very sticky and soft when cooked, we (my family) like to have a very smooth porridge so we mostly mix it with soft ingredients like red bean soup (boil 2 hours). Malaysian dessert "Jar Jar" (spelling?) is a mix of green bean / red bean / yam / coconut milk %26amp; cream / shredded dried coconut / sago / kidney bean (all boiled till soft) and sago sweet porridge that can be serve hot or cold, its texture is complicated, with the different sizes and texture of the beans, some chewy, some soft plus the aroma of the coconut milk, it tastes real good, and it is one of my favourite desserts.

Sago palm fertilzer?
My sago has yellow on the leaves. What fertilizer should i use for more growth and green leaves?
Sago palm fertilzer?
There are 2 reasons sago palms turn yellow -
1.Old leaves turn yellow from overwatering or too much fertiliser
2.New leaves turn yellow from manganese deficiency or too much fertiliser
Water them only when they become dry.(treat them like a cactus.)
You could try some manganese fertiliser or there is a feed especially for palms but as I said before don't overfeed.

Sago Palms will kill puppies?
Did you know that a sago palm will kill your puppy. I don't believe it is because it is toxic, its because they chew on the leaves or bristles and they are like needles and tear up the puppies intestines. Anyone out there agree?
Sago Palms will kill puppies?
The Sago Palm is not a palm at all, but rather a Cycad. Cycads are a group of plants that are very primitive in their origins. Fossils have been found on almost every continent on the planet. It is often stated that cycads have evolved little since the days of the dinosaurs. There are species that have gone extinct, while there are others that seemed to show little evolution over millions of years. Therefore as a group, cycads are often referred to as “living fossils”. The scientific name for the Sago Palm is Cycas revoluta. Cycas refers to the genus, the genus refers to a particular group of similar plants in the Cycad family and revoluta further describes the exact species of the group Cycas. The latter was given to this species because of the revolute (to curl back) nature of the leaflets; the edges roll under the leaflet.
Puppy death attributed to ingesting Cycas leaves is quite possible as the veins in the leaves are quite tough and resistant to breaking down in a puppy's digestive tract. Thus intestinal blockage is a very real possibility along with intestinal wall lacerations due to the rough nature of the Cycas material including the sharpened points of the leaves.
Reply:Yes, I have several cycad trees, I don't believe that they are toxic, however, I agree with you that the sharp serrated leaves are apt to do harm to a puppies intestines.

Sago palms?
When is the best time of year to plant of move a sago and the safest way to pull it from the main plant
Sago palms?
Now or very soon is the best time to move your sago. However, when you say, "pull it from the main plant" it sounds like you want to remove what are called the "pups" from your sago. There is some great info here in pdf form:
http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu/pdf/8039.p...
First a warning-- sago palms are Very Toxic to pets and will kill them if eaten. So if you have a dog or cat that likes to munch on your container plants, I wouldn't even try it.
The pups can be removed by gently prying them away from the main plant, with your hands (wear gloves!) or a trowel if they're small enough, or use a shovel if they've gotten pretty large. There will be a wound where the pup has been pulled off; therefore, you want to let it air dry for a couple of days to heal the wound. Also go ahead and remove any fronds. The pup won't yet have a root system (few, if any roots) that can nourish the fronds. After the wound has had two or three days to cure, you can plant it in a small container to get it rooting. Plant only the bottom third in a mix of sand, soil, and peat moss. Drainage is very important so that the pup doesn't rot. They don't like to be kept in moist soil. There are pictures and more detailed info about that here:
http://www.texasriviera.com/summer2001/F...
Finally, if you really do need to move the whole darn thing, there is info about transplanting here:
http://www.emilycompost.com/sago_palm1.h...
It's similar to transplanting anything else-- make every effort to take as many roots with you as you can. Dig wide and deep around the plant. It is helpful to remove the bottom one or two rows of fronds so you can maneuver and see what you're doing. Dig a new hole twice a big as the root ball and fill in around it. Having loosened, fresh soil around the roots helps them to reestablish. But NOW is the time, before the weather warms back up.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Reply:Gosh I need to know that too.....hope someone knows....
Reply:now is perfect to move it. now that it is in dormaty if you pull a root taking it out it will recover in the warmer weather. as for digging it up you might need a perfessional
Reply:I would check with your local garden center.It depends what planting zone you live in,I think if you transplant it %26amp; then get a freeze it could cause dammage.

Sago Palm not Blooming-How can I get it to bloom?
I cut off all the fronds from my Sago palm due to scale. The plant has not re-bloomed at the top but has many blooming pups at the base, so it is not dead. I have to do this several times due to scale and it always re-bloomed within a few months.
What should I do to get it to bloom at the top?
Should I leave the pups or harvest them?
Is there something I can do to prevent this horrible scale short of cutting off all of the fronds? I live in Florida.
Thanks for your help.

I'm in S.C.%26amp; I have a saga palm %26amp; went through what you did with my palm. I heard about putting Dawn dish soap into a bucket of warm water %26amp; pouring it at the base of the saga palm. I did this %26amp; my saga is doing so much better. I will do this once monthly.This is supposed to be good for rose bushes too. I harvested the pups, as that's what I heard one should do.

Sago palms?
I have thirteen Sago's about 30 yrs old. I have one that about 4 years ago it grew an arm kind of like a suajaro cactus. It seems to be robbing life from the main trunk above it. It is about 15" long and 12" in diameter. The question is can I cut this off without destroying the plant? It also has 4 ground level pup's that are now about 20" tall. How many are to many and can they be removed in a manner that they will survive as a transplant? I APPRECIATE ANYONE'S HELP!
Sago palms?
Okay, yes you can cut off all of them if you want to. first step is get a shovel right next to the main trunk and the other plant. Right next to the side of the main trunk with the shovel and be carefull not to hit to much of the main trunk when you are doing this. I do landscape for a living and I done several Sago palms. The last Sago palm that I did it had about 20 to 30 pups, it had three heads it stood about 6' feet tall with trunk and the leaves. It was my mother's Sago palm, I ended up potting up all the pups. My mother gave some to my brother and we sold some to other people that wanted them. I hope this helps you.

I have a sago palm?
This is a natural part of the growth process for most palms (even though a Sago Palm is technically a cycad and not a palm,it has same growth pattern). As the palm puts out new growth on the top of the plant it sheds a few of its lower fronds (or leaves). Just trim them off to keep plant looking nice. Also cut any "pups" or baby sagos that develop at the base of the trunk. You can replant these if you want to try to grow them.
Reply:This is usually normal. Trim the bottom ones off.
Reply:I keep the "dead" fronds trimmed off.
Reply:Cut them off.. As with ANY palm.. the bottom leaves start turning brown and when they do.. cut them off
Reply:I had a Sago palm. It died. I think I may have over-watered it. I would remove the brown leaves and take care to water it lightly maybe once a week. It likes a lot of light, so keep it near a sunny window.

Sago,which is not a palm but a member of the cycad family. How do you prune these and when.?
I have a sago that is now growing new "feathers". Is it time to prune out the older leaves?
Sago,which is not a palm but a member of the cycad family. How do you prune these and when.?
that first fella had the perfect answer. thumbs up. but since i'm already on the page i thought i could toss in a few cents more about the sago palm. you're correct... it's neither fern nor palm. it is a primitive, cone-bearing relative of conifers, little changed over the past 65 million years. and if you are waiting to see it grow, you'd swear it took that long just to grow chest high. a very, very, very, very slow growing plant. my sago is but 10 feet tall, but has out lived three of it's previous owners. that's why you find them selling for $40.00 in a two gallon pot. that poor nursery dude saw his own kids growing up faster then that baby sago he was raising to sell. mine is about 85 years old %26amp; still going strong. she was a beautiful addition to our front yard. about two years ago a landscaper showed up at my door %26amp; offered me $10,000.00 for it. He wanted for some big hotel in vegas. i turned him down. he was back a few days later %26amp; his offer was $12,500.00. again, the answer was no. the following week he called with an offer of $17,500.00. That was a tempting lot of money for one, rather small plant. Might have been too tempting? We had it moved into our back yard before it got feet on some dark night %26amp; dissapeared. enjoy it. maybe your grandchildren will one day enjoy it too. my grandson can't wait for me to die. he wants to chop it down so he can build a skateboard jump! Oy!

Correct procedure for cooking large sago?
Anyone can provide me the correct procedure for cooking large sago? I have put the sago in water to boil and the sago melted and went out of shape. When i continued to boil it for quite a long time, the core remained uncooked.
Please advise. Thanks.
Correct procedure for cooking large sago?
SAGO.......................................
Step 1-put the sago in the boiled water (only when the water is boiling)
Step 2-let it boiled for about 10-15 min (stir occasionally or when needed)
Step 3-let it cool for half - 1 hour
Step 4- repeat the first step
Step 5- repeat step 2
Step 6 - put it in the fridge when it cooled down, for overnite (preferably, otherwise you may leave it in the fridge for about 4 - 5 hours)
Step 7 - If you are cooking with the beans, put the sago in when your beans are almost really. remember to stir.
If you are not putting it in the fridge (to forgo step 6)
you may like to prolong the boiling time of the sago for about half an hour (step 2 and step 5). (btw have not tried this method yet, let me kown if it works)
Reply:Sweetie is correct. Good job sweetie! :0) It also depends if you are using it to add to a recipe such as dessert - like tapioca, or soups, or fish wrapped in sago etc.. Which you can look up recipes online that use sago. (google it) Enjoy!

Planting a sago near house and sidewalk?
I have a sago I wanted to plant between the sidewalk and window (area is 6ft betwwen the two), the sago's trunk is 25" and the leaves span 5ft already. Is it ok to plant it here or should I plant it somewhere else?
Planting a sago near house and sidewalk?
OK this is a complicated question---let me try to be brief. First, I assume your talking about a Sago Palm which is a beautiful low growing palm with very dark green fronds. If this is the case, I assume you know that a Sago Palm the size your talking about is worth several hundred dollars---so be nice to it! Second, the real key to your decision is not the space, but the location. Sago's prefer strong indirect light. They can take some direct sun, but not a lot and definitely not strong afternoon sun. So does this criteria match the spot your looking at? Last, the Sago Palms fronds are very sharp---so if people or children on the sidewalk can touch this plants they can get hurt. Also the Sago does not like to have it fronds disturbed---and if people will be brushing up against it the fronds will turn brown and start to die.
My recommendation would be to first find the right spot where the Sago will get the right amount of light. Then since this is such a valuable plant---move it once to a spot where it can stay for a long, long time. Good luck---and I'm jealous you have a Sago that big!

Question about Sago Palms?
I just read a question someone wrote about a male Sago Palm.
I didn't know there was a difference in Sago's. Males vs. females.
How do you know which is which?
Question about Sago Palms?
By the shape of the reproductive structure. The male sago has a distinctive cone (ok, blatently phallic) shapped bloom. The female's is more spherical shaped.
See the picture at:
http://www.rhapisgardens.com/sagos/sagos...
Reply:The males have a flower spike full of pollen that will die and become brown wheras the females have a large mass of soft whitish orange fluff with stiff edges where the seeds are grown in the top of the plant. The seeds are large and can be sold for about a buck each to growers ( more for certain varieties)and take as long as 4 years to germinate under ideal greenhouse conditions

Can Sago Palms stay small?
I love how sago palms look and I would love to have a couple. I've seen it a lot lately in my neighbourhood and the small ones are so cute, but the old big ones are just not my thing. My husband really wanted a couple of sago palms on our frontyard flower bed, but, eventhough they are slow grown trees, one day they will be huge palm trees in front of my house, which I don't want. I've seen some tiny little ones on small pots and I'm always wondering if they are a different specie that doesn't grown to be real trees. Or maybe only the fact to keep them in vases, can we stop the growing process to keep them small (like 2' tall max)?
Can Sago Palms stay small?
people like the sago as a bonsai. this is done by putting it in a pot. what you do is keep it in a medium pot that is the perfect size. then dig a hole in the place you want it outside and put the plant in it with the pot and all. bury the pot in the ground so it isnot notcable.
this will consideabely slow down the growth rate keeping it a small size for a long time.
good luck

Reply:Sego palms will spread out to a diameter of 8-10, even 12 feet across.
Keeping them cramped up and root bound won't stop them from spreading out-they'll just be unhealthy and weak.
Pick another palm to plant there.

My sago palm trunk is mushy. I think scale is killing it.?
I have been battling white scale on one of my sagos for about 5 years, but I think it's getting the better of the sago.
The trunk is soft. Can I save it?

Cut off everything, from the trunk, uproot it
and check the root for life then transplant the
root in another spot with fertilizer in the hole
with water place the root in there cover it
with cow compost and soil and leave it to
itself to regrow, if the root still has life it will
show limbs eventually.
Reply:How does the rest of the palm look. Are the leaves starting to discolour/wilt etc? If its going soft it may well be starting to rot...its hard to say without seeing anything .

Sago palm help?
It looks healthy, I see two different types of yellowing, the lower leaves are yellowing from natural old age. The other lighter more abrupt yellowing appears to be environmental, sun scald, fertilizer burn, dog urine or something similar. I wouldn't worry, just keep your eyes open to the cause. RScott
Reply:Yeah it looks healthy and natural to me as well. Report It
Reply:Looks like sun scald or possibly not enough water.
Try watering every other day for 30 days about 20 minutes each time on a drip watering system....if you have one.
Or water by hand about 5 or 7 gallons of water.
Reply:It looks normal, really. Maybe your weather has been abnormal lately? Just cut off the bottom ones when they turn yellow or brown. They will be fine...no worries....
I use a palm food called Premium Palm %26amp; Ixora Food (8-8-8)twice a year...purchased at Home Depot. Excellent for healthy, new fronds! I also water mine 4 or more times a week. They love water.

Sago Palm as a focal point?
I just pulled up all of the bushes in the 10 X 8 ft. pie shaped area next to my front door. I have put a sago palm in as a focal point but it is only about 2 1/2 ' in diameter and it looks very lonely %26amp; small. I was told by the local nursery owner that it would grow pretty quickly and I didn't need anything else with it. However, I'm not very satisfied with how it looks and am wanting to keep it tropical. Any suggestions on plants that will look great in the bed but won't overpower the Sago? Thanks!!!
Sago Palm as a focal point?
It is my understanding that sagos grow very slow.
Scientific Name: Cycas revoluta
Common Name: Sago “palm”
Typical Height: 10’
Growth Rate: Slow
Hardiness Zone:
Characteristics: The most common and popular cycad with flat, dark green foliage spanning 3 feet wide. Moderate water and does best in partial shade.
I think the nursery owner lied. Do a search on growth rates for this tree because if it is in fact as small as you say, you want to take it back and spend the money for the size you want.
My mother planted 2 of these in our front yard when we moved in 1982. I am 5'6 and I am still taller than both of them by at least a foot.
I am almost positive the gut at the nursery just wanted to make a sale.
Sorry for your dilemma.

Reply:Queen palms are great for a tropical bed, but they start big and get bigger fast. Variegated ginger would work as well. It gets used to sun. A strap leaf plant like dietes or other irises have a great look as well. I would use broadleaf and strap leaf plants to soften the Sago.

Sago Palms: I Need Advice?
Heres the deal. My husband bought this little palm from Longs drug store. It was, I think, $9.99 for this tiny little something or other that seemed to be doing just about nothing, until I transplanted it into a bigger pot.
Now I have three new " huge" frawns and the pineapple base to the plant has trippled in size... HERE'S THE QUESTION:
What do I do with the tiny little bulb thing that is sprouting a baby sago right next to my mommy sago pineapple thingy?
I think it would be so darned fun to have a second one, but when do I harvest it / separate it? So far it just has a little lime-green nubby poking out of the dirt. ----It's so cute!
Sago Palms: I Need Advice?
Ive attached a couple of websites about cycad propagation for your Cycas revoluta(sago). They are fairly easy to propagate, just time consuming and prone to fungus.
i think if you paint them with a fungicide and plant in a free draining soil you should be right.

Sago Palm tranfer?
How do you take the little "growths" that grow off the sides of the Sago Palm and transfer them into a pot to start another Sago Palm so it won't damage the larger Sago?
Sago Palm tranfer?
I did this exact thing about 6 months ago. Just break off the little ones. Be sure to be careful so you get the tap root with them. Don't worry about the larger one, you won't hurt it by taking the babies off. I have two large sago's that I took 13 babies off of. They are all doing just fine.
Reply:Okay, sometimes this can be tricky. Slice it off at an angle with a razor knife. You can buy a powdered substance called root hormone. It has directions on the label. Try it and see what happens. Sometimes you get good results.
Reply:Save yourself the effort. Sago Palms are going the way of the white buffalo. Soon they will all be dead because of a Strange Martian Insectoid Critter that is well and truly destroying them all (we're next).
