my sago palm doesn look that good

13 years ago

my husband got me a sago palm about 2 month ago, it was in a pot with some stones on top. the palm was so nice looking, very green. but after couple weeks the bottom leaves started to dry out. It started in the middle of the leave and was spreading until all leave was totally dry. So all 5 bottom ones dried out. I cut them off. The rest of them where still very green, but now it started again and it spreading sooo fast ,and if will not do something my plant will just dry out. Help me please!!!

There is always hope.

I image you have been watering it as per instructions and keeping it away from hot radiators etc..

What zone are you? Once its warm enought and place it outside in direct sun and do not overwater or underwater. It will send out a whole new set of leaves from the middle center once its in the direct sun. They will almost look alien at first.
