Free delivery, continental U.S. Packed and dispatched in 1–4 business days (we ship Monday–Wednesday so plants don't sit in transit over a weekend); standard transit is then typically 3–7 business days. Heat packs are not included automatically — for cold-weather deliveries (below about 45°F at the destination) add Winter Plant Shipping Protection to your order. In extreme heat or cold we may hold your order until it is safe to ship, and will let you know. Shipping details

What you receive
- One live Sago Palm, rooted in soil in a 6" nursery pot.
- Nursery pot and soil included; a decorative planter only if you select one.
- Live plants vary in height, fullness and leaf count within the pot size you choose; we do not publish measured shipping heights.
Will it suit your home?

- Water: when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
- Difficulty: Moderate — a little particular but rewarding.
- Growth style: A stiff, palm-like rosette of feathery fronds.

Good fit: Bright, indirect-light spots · Growers who enjoy a little hands-on care · People who love characterful foliage · Shelves, desks, and brightening a corner.
Think twice if: Homes with pets that may chew leaves — it is toxic · People who tend to overwater — it dislikes soggy soil · Dim spots with no bright or direct light · Anyone wanting a totally hands-off plant.
Delivery and arrival help
- Ships free within the continental U.S. from a greenhouse in Florida or California, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil.
- Dispatched within 1–4 business days, Monday to Wednesday so plants don't sit in transit over a weekend; standard transit is typically 3–7 business days after that.
- Heat packs are not included automatically: in cold weather (below about 45°F at the destination) add Winter Plant Shipping Protection to your order, and in extreme cold or heat we may hold the order until it is safe to ship — we will let you know.
- If it arrives dead, severely damaged, or significantly different from the description, email photos of the plant and packaging to info@shopfloridaplant.com within 48 hours of delivery for a full refund or a free replacement (refund policy).
- Give your plant a few days to settle in; minor cosmetic marks from transit are normal.
Care and common questions
- Light: Bright light with some direct sun keeps Sago Palm full and colorful — a few hours of gentle sun is ideal, but avoid harsh midday sun.
- Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — Sago Palm likes to dry out a bit between waterings and dislikes soggy soil. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents.
- Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Good to know: All parts are highly toxic to pets and people if eaten — site it well out of reach.
- Care tip: Give it the right light and consistent watering, and Sago Palm stays full and healthy.

Is Sago Palm pet safe?

Why are my sago fronds yellowing?
