Sago Palm Transplant Shock: Patience Over Pruning for Yellowing Fronds

Yellowing after transplant is normal shock. The old fronds are still photosynthesizing and feeding the root system. Cutting them off adds stress. Wait until new growth emerges from the center (could take months). Then remove only fully brown fronds. Keep soil evenly moist, not wet. Provide light shade if in full sun. Do not fertilize until new growth appears.
