Comments:
This cardboard sago produces a rosette of large leaves with thick leaflets. It is well adapted for growing in containers as an accent specimen on patios and other outdoor areas during the warm months of the year. This sago cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. It grows best in a well drained potting soil in full sunlight to partial shade. Provide fertilizer at least once a year in early spring before new growth begins. There are both male and female plants.
