The cycad, which is often referred to as the sago palm, does not require much care, but it does react to incorrect watering and/or fertilizing with yellowing of its leaves or fronds. Rapid intervention saves your sago palm quite reliably.
Yellow leaves are mostly due to improper watering
The cycad prefers water that is low in lime, it prefers rainwater, but not too much of it. He also does not need fertilizer in large quantities. Even if you didn't react immediately to the discoloration of the leaves, there is still hope for your sago palm.
Plant the cycad in unfertilized soil and stop watering and fertilizing completely for a while. The sago palm should definitely be nice and bright. Then water and fertilize sparingly until the plant has recovered.
Common causes of yellow leaves on the sago palm:
- too much water
- too much fertilizer
tips
The sooner you respond to the yellowing of the fronds, the faster your sago palm will recover.
