Sago Palm is an easy going, almost maintenance free indoor plant, that tends to create a perfect fit for those hectic households which don't have much time for houseplant care or attention but when you just want something green (and very easy) around.
Light: Bright light but no direct sun. Too much light will cause damage to the leaves. If you provide too little light it will not show negative consequences for quite some time, but for the plants long term health, poor light levels also need to be avoided. So bright light with no direct sun should be your aim.
Water: The trunk and fleshy leaves will store some water so Sago Palms do well with fairly long spells of no watering. However they're not a true succulent so will perish if they're never watered. The real danger for these houseplants is overwatering, too much will encourage rot and that's what you need to be careful of. So water well and then don't do it again until the soil is almost completely dry. In Winter, when there is less light and temperatures are cooler you'll find you only need to water occasionally.
Humidity: Whatever the humidity levels surrounding your plant are will be fine, Sago's aren't fussy.
Temperature: Average home temperatures would be fine all year around. To prevent damage to the leaves and the trunk no lower than 5°C / 41°F is recommended.
Fertilizer: Only provide feed between Spring and mid-Summer using a general houseplant fertiliser and no more than once or twice a year. You can use normal strength as per the instructions, but in all honestly because the Sago Palm just doesn't need that much feed.
Soil: Sago palms aren't overly picky about their soil, as long as they have good drainage. For container plants, a potting mix made for cactus or palms should be suitable.
Toxicity: Toxic
