sago palm is turning brown


Question
my sago palms are planted in large pots, they are turning brown and look unhealthy, my neighbor has hers in the ground and hers is nice and green what do i need to do?

Answer
Hi Ginger, it sounds like they have been in those containers too long without being changed out (soil change); often when a plant (especially one that really shouldn't be in a container) is in a container too long, it becomes compacted (the root system), and when you water it, the water doesn't pervade the whole root system. I would take them out of the container and repot them with new medium and a couple of inches of drainage gravel on the bottom...regards Nick:)
