Discover the timeless beauty of Cycas revoluta, commonly known as Sago Palm. This captivating evergreen hails from the ancient Cycadaceae family, with roots tracing back 200 million years, and naturally thrives on the Japanese Island of Kyusha, the Ryukyu Islands, and southern China. Revered for its striking, palm-like appearance—though not a true palm—this plant showcases glossy, arching leaves (fronds) with an alluring downward curl and spiny tips, arranged in a distinctive rosette atop a stout trunk. Despite its tropical allure, Sago Palm is incredibly adaptable, making it a popular houseplant and an elegant addition to containers, patios, and tropical landscapes. With minimal maintenance, it flourishes in bright, indirect sunlight, thriving in well-drained, loamy soils. The plant’s resilience includes drought tolerance and the ability to withstand brief cold spells. Its slow growth, producing impressive golden cones on male plants and seedheads on females, adds a unique charm to any setting. Explore the subtle elegance of the Sago Palm today!
