    I would simply mix it with water and feed the plants during watering. You can dilute it if desired, depending on the label instructions.

    It sounds like it may be flowering. This website can help you with information on that: http://www.rhapisgardens.com/sagos/sagoseed.htm

    Do not cut it out, it will damage the plant.

    This is the reproductive organ of the sago. Cone-shaped protrusions are normally male while females have a more cabbage-like appearance. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/sago-palm/sago-palms-flower.htm

    It does sound like it is scale. Treat the leaves and leave them on the tree. While they may look unsightly until new leaves grow in, the plant needs them to help it remain healthy and to produce energy while it is growing new leaves. This article will help you with the scale: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/palms/sticky-palm-tree-leaves-treatment-for-palm-scale.htm

    Fertilizing with a slow-release, balanced tropical fertilizer with micro-elements will usually suffice.

    Yes, this is normal. This is generally where the reporductive organs are located--males will produce cone-shaped growths, while females look more like cabbages. Cutting them off will not affect the plants.
