King Sago Palm

King Sago Palm brings bold, architectural drama with its stiff, glossy fronds radiating from a thick central crown. Although it looks like a true palm, it’s actually a cycad—an ancient plant with a slow, steady growth habit and serious presence. It’s sculptural, structured, and makes a striking focal point in bright indoor spaces.

Cycads

Cycads are primitive, slow-growing plants known for their symmetrical form and tough, leathery foliage. They thrive in bright light and prefer to dry out between waterings. Patience is key—new fronds emerge in flushes rather than constant growth, but when they do, it’s worth the wait.

Caring for King Sago Palm

 Light Needs

Bright, indirect light is ideal, and it can tolerate some direct sun. Insufficient light may slow growth and reduce overall vigour.

 Watering

Allow the soil to dry out well between waterings. King Sago Palm prefers drier conditions and is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure excellent drainage.

 Feeding

Feed once a month in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter as growth slows.
