likes good drainage and benefits from peat moss being added
to a sand mix. Ration should be 75% sand 25% peat moss. It is
a great small or large container plant as well. Let it go slightly
dry several times a year, leaving it slightly moist is a good
rule to follow. Take your time to remove fronds, as they only
grow new ones about once a year. Kendall Palms has Sagos from
