Despite the common name, Sago Palm, Cycas Revoluta, Cycas Palm, technically isn’t a true palm tree at all. These fairly low-growing plants with long green fronds are actually cycads, a group of ancient tropical and subtropical plants that usually grow from a trunk that doesn’t branch out; it produces nuts but doesn’t flower or fruit. This plant is a slow grower and has been around for a while, possibly since dinosaurs collected houseplants. It is a living fossil, dating back to prehistoric times. Having survived that long it should be a pretty easy plant for even the beginner to grow. They are not difficult to grow and maintain, but they do require some specific growing conditions. They appreciate a warm and bright environment, though harsh sunlight can damage the foliage. They also like humidity, which can be created by misting them regularly with clean water from a spray bottle.
