The Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) is a striking tropical plant featuring dark green, feathery fronds atop a distinctive swollen trunk. Often called a living fossil, this ancient cycad dates back to prehistoric times and makes an impressive statement in any indoor or outdoor space. This 12-inch potted specimen comes in a 3.84-gallon (14.55-liter) container, providing a well-established plant ready for display.

Sago Palms thrive in medium to bright indirect light and can tolerate direct sunlight indoors. They are exceptionally drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, requiring watering only when the top inch of soil has dried out. Overwatering is the most common cause of sago palm decline, so err on the side of less water. Fertilize a couple of times per year during spring and summer, and prune only old, faded fronds. The plant is also known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide from indoor air. Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11 when planted outdoors.

Warning: Sago Palms are toxic to children and pets if ingested. Contact the Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 if ingestion occurs.
