Previously, we talked about how to separate and transplant a sago pup. This is a good time to go over how to properly care for your sago palm. The symmetry of the glossy fronds and the way the zig-zag pattern on the trunk gives it a prehistoric vibe with a tropical twist. They are also so versatile! They not only look good outdoors as decorations for entryways but they also make excellent indoor plants as well due to their slow-growth rate.
Here are some tips below for properly caring for your indoor cycad.

Looking for a double headed sago as a focal point to your landscape... we have them!
Looking for matching sagos for a big job... we have them.
Looking to add diversity indoor... we have them.
Care tips for indoor sago palms:
Give it just the right amount of sun. The key to your sago thriving both indoors (and outdoors!) is how much light it receives. Too much direct sun can burn those pretty green fronds. Partial sun is ideal. I also recommended turning the sago a quarter of a turn every couple of days to make sure the fronds each get their turn in the sun, allowing for them to grow out more evenly.
Keep it out of high traffic areas! This is beneficial for both you and the sago. The fronds are pretty stiff with a sharp point at the end of the frond. You will get tired super quick after a few brushes with its leaves.
Watching the watering. Too much water, and your sago will have some rot issues. Only water your sago again when the soil is starting to feel dry. Also, make sure it has good drainage and remove any sitting, leftover water after each watering.
Fertilize once a month during growing season (spring through fall). Be mindful not to over fertilize your plant as this could result in fertilizer burn, causing yellowing and root damage.
To prune or not to prune? Trimming your sago's fronds is completely up to you and your personal taste. The cone that grows from the center can be removed as long as its done carefully. Otherwise, if left alone, will just fall off on its own.
Upgrade to a pot 2 inches bigger than the one it's currently in. When the sago begins to outgrow the pot it's in, it's time to move it to a bigger home. Again, make sure that there is good drainage to prevent rot.
THAT'S RIGHT... WE HAVE THEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN GROWING FOR 15, 20, 30 AND 60 YEARS!

The SAGO PALM is perfectly suited for both an indoor and outdoor environment. The Cycas revoluta aka Sago Palm makes a great decorative addition to any home or garden. It is an extremely slow-growing cycad with only about 1" of growth in height and trunk diameter a year. The trunk, which is typically 8" in diameter, supports a thick crown of rigid, dark green fronds.
The sago thrives best in either partial shade or full sun exposure and requires weekly watering until established and then it is able to survive drought-like conditions. The soil needs to have good drainage and be rich in humus.

IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO PALM PUPS AND NOT THE BARKING KIND, WE CAN HELP!
IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO PALM PUPS, THEY ARE THE SMALL PALMS GROWING AT THE BASE OF THE SAGO PALMS OR DATE PALMS.
Some people love the fullness of the pups around the base of the Sago palm, as shown here.
Others, prefer to have all the pups removed at the time of installation revealing only a textured trunk.
Either way, these Sago Palms are a perfect addition to any landscape and can be a wonderful container palms as well. They are slow growing and have a rich green colored fronds.
Each of those "pups" or small shoots are actually palms. If you plant them, they will grow!
