Sago Palm Yellowing: Not Water, Check Nutrition and Pests

Beach sagos with yellow edges on old leaves, new leaves yellow immediately: not sprinkler/rain (dry months). Old leaves yellow = overwater/fertilizer; new leaves yellow = excess fertilizer/poor soil.

Actions

• Remove yellow/brown leaves.
• Check for scale, mealybugs, spider mites.
• Soil test for pH and nutrients.
• Fertilize with balanced palm formula.

Watering not the cause; focus on nutrition and pests.
