Hi I over fertilized my Sago Palm about a year ago and she still hasn’t recovered. She has lost a couple of leaves because of it. Is there any thing I can do?

sagos are really slow growers so you probably won’t see any growth for a bit

Thank you, thats what I thought.

Hmm it might need a bit bigger pot with drainage (can’t tell if that one has). Then try running distilled water through it to break up the extra minerals

### Sunny commented on 2023-12-09

I find tall slim pots without drainage kill my plants.. even with drainage rocks added to the bottom

#### Mia replied on 2023-12-11

The pot does have drainage holes.

Usually the whole set of leaves yellow and drops off making room for the central new growth. And then the cycle repeats

Ok thank you!
