Sago Palm Yellowing in Arizona: Overwatering Likely Cause

Watering twice daily for 10 minutes keeps the surface wet but encourages shallow roots. Yellow tips indicate overwatering. Switch to deep, infrequent irrigation: every other day for 20 minutes at 4:00 AM. This drives roots deeper, improves drought resilience, and reduces fungal risk. Sago palms prefer well-drained soil and hate constant moisture.
