I just planted a sago in my yard a few days ago, the bottom palms are turning yellow, is that normal ?

Yes, it is normal for the bottom FRONDS (not palms) to turn yellow--it's probably just transplant shock. You can use root stimulator for the first three to six months, once a month and then you can use a regular fertilizer like Miracle Gro at least once a month. Sagos prefer semi-shade and like to be on the dry side, so don't overwater. Also, they're very slow growing, so be patient.

Some yellowing of the fronds is normal after transplant. Just be sure that you haven't planted it too deep. Be sure you have left some of the "trunk" of the sago sticking out of the ground. Don't fertilize it until spring.

we've sagos outdoors right here and there is an infestation it somewhat is killing all of them. in case you have white spots on the leaves, you have it. to regulate it the plant ought to have some variety of therapy each month. I basically permit mine die and it replace right into a shame. Sagos do in comparison to distinctive water. All you're able to do is be useful it somewhat is getting distinctive sunlight and extremely sturdy drainage. they do in comparison to moist soil yet i've got on no account considered water injury the leaves considering that I turn the sprinkler on them...or used to...basically sounds like it replace into way overwatered or you have that infestation.

yes it is normal. make sure it has well drainage there and also lots of warm not hot sun. water if hot and the sol is very dry. if you have winter and it does get moderately cool( below 70 during some days and below 55 on some nighs) dont fertilize until the spring. usually march is good in sub tropical areas

yes, that is normal. if you want a cheap and environmentally safe way to fertilize, dig a trough about 6-8 inches away from the bottom of the trunk. sprinkle about a cup of epsom salt in the trough. you need to water it by letting water run gently over the salts. i usually take one of those gun type watering nozzles and let it run gently over it for a good twenty minutes. i assume you live in a sandy area. my gardener turned me on to this trick. e mail me if you need anymore info.

We replanted one from the front yard to the back yard, and it lost all it's fronds the first year. Next spring it "bloomed" back out with a new batch of fronds and it looks fine now.
