🌴 What Is a Giant Sago Palm?

• Botanical Name: Cycas revoluta (often confused with Metroxylon sagu, which is a true sago palm used for starch)

• Type: Cycad, not a true palm

• Appearance: Thick trunk with a rosette of stiff, feather-like dark green leaves

• Size: Can grow up to 10 feet tall outdoors, but remains compact in pots

🪴 Why a Fiber Pot?

• Material: Fiber pots are typically made from coconut coir or other natural fibers

• Benefits:

  • Eco-friendly and biodegradable

  • Lightweight and breathable, promoting healthy root growth

  • Good drainage, which is essential for preventing root rot in cycads

🌞 Care Tips for Sago Palm in a Pot

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays indoors.

• Watering: Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake—root rot is a risk.

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix, ideally cactus or palm soil with added sand or perlite.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm climates; keep above 50°F (10°C). Protect from frost.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a slow-release palm fertilizer during growing season (spring and summer).

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when root-bound. Fiber pots may degrade over time, so monitor for wear.
