It's a \"living fossil\" that's drought-tolerant once established but requires careful watering ( allowing soil to dry between waterings) and is highly poisonous if ingested, making it a hazard for pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance \u0026amp; Growth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette of stiff, shiny, dark green, pinnate leaves with spiny tips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrunk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick, brown, and textured.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003eSlow-growing; can take 50 years to reach 10 feet, often acting more like a shrub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReproduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Produces male cones or female structures with bright orange seeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrefers partial sun but can tolerate full sun; more shade leads to larger leaves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water thoroughly but allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out; overwatering causes root rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Needs excellent drainage; sandy or loamy soil is ideal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer: \u003c\/strong\u003eUse a balanced palm fertilizer during the growing season (spring\/summer).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrefers warm, humid conditions (65-85°F) and is hardy in USDA zones 8-11; protect from frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"3 gallon","offer_id":50258732384533,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 gallon","offer_id":50169786040597,"sku":null,"price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 gallon","offer_id":50169786073365,"sku":null,"price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/6834\/1525\/files\/12.jpg?v=1789373027","url":"https:\/\/discountplantsdirect.com\/products\/sago-palm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
