#sago #sagopalm #newfronds #tropical #bestofoctober this has gotten new growth twice in the house in winter and they promptly died! 🥺🤦 So I'm hoping since this happened outside it lives through winter inside! 🤞

@tinaaune thanks Tina! It's made it through several winter's inside but the two times it got new growth it was a no go! Now I gotta hope it stays alive! 🤞💘😍

@heatherdirtyhands last year the one I had did the yellow thing, some of my tips turned and I'm thinking there is a fine line between watering to much or not enough, for me I'm thinking I may have under watered just a bit🤔💘😍

#sagopalm well it's made it so far through this winter, but we'll see! I've had this happen before where a plant makes it all the way through winter only to up and croak right after spring arrives! Why!?😢

Maybe it needs just a bit longer inside? More time to adjust to outdoors again? Good luck!
