The Sago Palm is very slow-growing and may take up to 50 or more years to reach 10 feet tall. It is frequently cultivated as a houseplant. The leaves grow from the trunk. They are shiny, palm-like, and have spiny tips and the margins of the leaves roll downward. While it has a distinct palm-like appearance, it is not a true palm. They do not flower, but produce co
nes with exposed seeds (gymnosperm), much like pines and fir trees.Sago palm requires very little maintenance and prefers bright, but indirect sun. If the plant is grown indoors, filtered sunlight for 4-6 hours per day is recommended.
