    These growths are flowers. On the male, you can remove it. You also have the option of leaving it as is and will not harm the plant either way. We do not, however, recommend removing female blooms. The flower grows very close to the plant and you risk damaging the plant by removing it and it will not hurt the plant to leave it. You may see slowed growth while it is flowering. This is normal and growth will resume once the flower fades.

    They prefer loose, well-draining soil. It is normal for them to look a bit ragged after repotting or transplanting as they adjust to their new environment. You may want to consider trimming the plant back to help with transplant shock.

    Yes, some cactus-mix soil, or potting mix, would be best. Trimming the sago would involve removing the older leaf fronds, the ones nearest the soil - in other words, at the bottom of the plant. Make sure the plant is watered-in well, then let the soil dry out nearly completely before watering again.

    Try giving the plant some fertilizer. A standard slow-realease fertilizer is normally recoemmended for these plants.

    The fruit is nothing to worry with, unless you plan on growing more of the plant from seeds. You can simply remove it.

    There are two types of sago palms. One is edible and the other is poisonous. The Sago palm known as Metroxylon is edible, but the one most commonly seen and grown is known as Cycas revoluta, which is highly poisonous.
