Cycas revoluta (Sago Palm) Houseplant Care

Cycas revoluta (Sago Palm) Houseplant Care - 325 of 365

Күн бұрын

Though a highly toxic plant to animals and people, there is something structurally beautiful to the Sago Palm, which actually isn't a palm at all-but a cycad. It's definitely one of the more popular cycads in cultivation and comes in strong at #325 in "365 Days of Plants".
In this video I'll discuss where it is originally native to, where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

I'm so sorry to hear about your chicken, I can see the grief in you face when you mentioned it. RIP Kippy

I felt you when you said kippy, i had a bird and i couldn't leave her alone for 5 minutes, but i eventually i had to let go of my baby girl, BTW you're the most amazing botanical youtuber I've seen, and your videos helped me a lot in the past 2 years ❤️❤️

I literally look forward to these videos every day on my breaks at work. I saw one of these at my local nursery, but they wanted an arm and a leg! Hopefully I find one soon for my mum 😃😄😁🌱✂🌿

i watched your video about the cycads. it was so interesting. i have a sago palm and i love it evenmore after watching that video.

I love this plant. It may be hailing from Japan, but it has a very tropical feel to it. It is also very low low maintenance. I bought a beautiful one at Ikea for about $20, which I thought was a great deal.

I always found this palm so fascinating and cool looking, but now that I know it is toxic to animals I probably won't get one because I have two kitties and I wouldn't want either of them to get sick. thanks again Summer this series has been so much fun and I once again appreciate all of the time and effort you have devoted to it.

I'm amazed you touch the foliage so much. The ends of mine are so sharp they're like thorns. I always end up jabbing myself when I try to check the soil moisture haha. I consider that the biggest downside to this plant. Mine is very large so the danger zone of getting poked is quite big!!!

@edwardlittlefield447 4 жыл бұрын

I like cycads alot because they go well in succulent collections. My favorite is Encephalartos horridus (blue form)! I hope I spelled that correctly!

When i was in grade school i thought sago palms are coconut tree bonsai because my uncle used to make bonsai tree. I was under the impression that sago palm is a product of bonsai making. Funny but then reading books helped me understand.

@tammysjungle7064 4 жыл бұрын

I have purchased one of these plants recently, looks about the size of yours. I too re-potted it in terra cotta. So, do you water it as if was a succulent?

@cicada0007 3 жыл бұрын

No i would water it a little more often because it is a tropical plant. Just water it whenever the top is dry. For succulents water it when you can feel dry soil in the drainage holes.

Cycas revulta is a sun worshipping plant. They live in between rocks and limestones in the islands of Asia, not just Japan but they say it originated from Japan. One thing to remember though is how they propagate. As they live along the ravines beside the seawater, seeds tend to fall off letting the waves take the seed anywhere in the world, thus propagating it. Im growing mine in a full sun condition and it is a monster. It looks good as a centerpiece in my garden.

What is going on with my plant?! It has three crazy shoots growing up from the middle! Supposedly this grows slowly but these shot up to almost two feet in two weeks! What is it?

@garethmarch7396 4 жыл бұрын

I just noticed that on mine too! It only had seven fronds up until now, and I heard it only creates one new frond per year but there's atleast five new ones forming

@blake-gl4wn 3 жыл бұрын

Mine didn’t do anything for 3 years. Then this year shot out two shoots which quickly tripled the size of the plant..

@anschn7166 2 жыл бұрын

If they grow much longer than the previous fronds, your plant is not getting enough light. C. revoluta needs a lot of light to grow properly.

summer, am I going crazy or have you forgot to talk about watering this baby? I just bought one like 15 cm tall, it has only three leaves (I'm assuming it's a compound leaf when I say only three leaves). I didn't even know what it was, as supermarket I got it from had it down as calathea. I knew it wasn't calathea but that's about it

@katestacybernal7139 2 жыл бұрын

Any advice you could give to someone who messed up completely and didn't fertilize during it's growth period...the beautiful new fronds that popped up (surprising me, because I knew too little about the plant) ended up with it's leaves brown and curled for lack of nutrients (I soon realized)...it's sad...I wish I could show you a pic. I still have it because it's living, but...it's not a beauty

Hi Summer 👋 I just purchased this plant and I have 3 cats. I had only 10 min. at home Depot to choose a plant and didn't have time to check for the toxicity. I wonder, do these plants emit anything into the air that's toxic or is it from animals chewing directly on the plant ?

I don't think so that this plant is a native one in Japan because it is not found everywhere. Mostly, plants like this are imported. Japanese are not fond of this plant too.

@daturarose 4 жыл бұрын

I have one of these and my 2 cats are pretty good at leaving it alone, they do at times tend to rub their cheeks and chew on the needles a bit, but don't actually consume the plant... My cats have plenty of other house plants to nibble on that are also technically poisonous, but both kitties are perfectly healthy. The only plants they actually eat, and it irritates the hell out of me, are my ferns. I have 2 Boston ferns and 1 asparagus fern that they just can't ever seem to get enough of, it's very annoying, but if that satisfies their needs for greens and they're still healthy and happy after 3 years of it then I guess I should be glad they eat what doesn't harm them, but use what will as a tooth pick rather than a meal!🤷‍♀️
