Sago palms are slow growing, magnificent plants. They are hardy to 15 degrees but can also withstand the blistering heat of a south Texas summer. Once or twice a year they will produce a "break" of new leaves which is a complete circle of new leaves emerging all at once. This is a plant you will enjoy for years to come.

To grow from seed you will need well draining soil. Plant them on their side with just a tiny bit of the seed exposed. They do not like to be constantly wet, so allow the soil to dry somewhat between waterings.
