sago palm soil

Question

What kind of soil do I plant my Sago Palm in? My sister wants a Sago palm very much and would like to know what kind of soil (potting soil) should she use. Wants to give it its best chance to survive and thrive.

Answer 1

Sago's prefer sandy, well-drained soil with some composted organic matter. With that in mind, you can use cactus mix or try combining 2 parts peat-moss based potting mix and 1 part sharp sand or perlite.
