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.

Why is my sago palm turning yellow?
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.
