HOW TO GROW SAGO PALM FROM SEEDS

The seed itself initially determines the germination of Sago palm seeds. Female or male seeds will germinate. When there are no plants available, ordering seeds from a reputable seed supplier like Garden Paradise Seeds will ensure that the seeds will germinate. It may take a few months for the seeds to germinate. Put the seeds from the sago palm into a shallow seed starting container or tray while wearing gloves. Before planting, all outer husks should have been removed from the sago palm seeds. You can do this by soaking them in water beforehand. Arrange the sago palm seeds horizontally in the tray. Top with sandy seed starting mix. Maintain a warm, moist environment throughout the sago palm seed germination process. Ensure that the tray remains moist during the germination process for sago palm seeds.

CARE FOR SAGO PALM AFTER GERMINATION

Although Sago palm seeds germinate very slowly, they still provide a reliable way to propagate new trees. Slender and low-maintenance sago palms (Cycas revoluta) thrive in zones 9b to 12a, where their fronds and palm-like shape add a tropical touch to landscaping. While acclimatizing to outdoor conditions, sago palms require light shade and shelter from strong winds. Put them against a south- or west-facing wall where the temperature stays warm at night. It's essential to let the soil dry out before watering young sago palms, as too much moisture can cause significant root problems. Before transplanting a seedling into the garden, let it grow under nursery conditions for a week or so.
