Also know, do Sago palms grow fast?
Growing sago palm in a container will slow down the already slow growth, but if you want to maintain it as a houseplant, this is desirable. Native to Japan, sago palm is used there as a bonsai subject. Sago palms usually grow 1 to 2 inches a year, but the rate varies according to local climate and growing practices.
Also asked, do sago palms have big roots?
Sagos and other palms do not have woody roots like most of our woody ornamentals but they are massive and will continue to grow in length as long as the palm is alive. It might be best if you avoid planting shrubs and trees near the septic tank area.
Sago palms will develop yellow leaves if they receive too much or too little water. Excessive watering can cause root rot, which leads to yellow leaves from nutrient deficiencies. Use well-drained soil and provide enough water to keep the soil moist but not soaked.
