About this Sago Palm Bonsai, 13 Years Old (Cycas revoluta)
Cycas revoluta is an exotic palm of great longevity, grown for the stiff, symmetrical rosette of dark green fronds it builds up over many years. This one is 13 years old and measures 12 to 13 inches. It adapts to anything from indirect light to full sun and handles temperatures across a broad span, anywhere from fifteen to a hundred and twenty degrees Fahrenheit. Growth is slow enough that a plant kept inside can remain in one pot for good. Treat it much as you would a cactus, letting the soil approach dryness before each watering, and feed it only rarely. It tolerates neglect yet thrives on attention.
Sago Palm bonsai care
This is a living Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Indoors or in a protected container in most of the US; outdoors year-round only in zone 9+
- Light
- Bright indirect light; acclimatize gradually to any direct sun
- Water
- Let it dry between waterings. Never water into the crown: it rots at the base
- USDA zones
- 9 to 10 outdoors; 8b in sheltered microclimates. Potted plants indoors elsewhere
- #1 cause of death
- Root and crown rot from overwatering: overwhelmingly the commonest failure, especially in a shallow bonsai pot
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Sago Palm bonsai care guide.
