Sago Palms
What can be done to get Sago Palms to grow faster?
I always found sagos to be a very slow-growing plant.
From this site: (https://www.rhapisgardens.com/sagos/)
RATE OF GROWTH is extremely slow. The fastest rate observed in South Texas commercial production (which has excellent growing conditions of hot summers and mild winters) under 30% shade is three new sets of leaves and an increase of 1" (3 cm) of height and trunk diameter per year. When grown as potted indoor specimens, Cycads may add only one set of new leaves every year or two and remain somewhat the same size (one reason they are excellent for bonsai).
