| I have a Sago Palm that has not been showing any signs of activity all summer long. I kept inside on a window sill that get morning and afternoon sun, and also i had a screen on the bottom part of the window, so I guess it got plenty of fresh air. For the past couple of days, the leaves have started to lower themselves and got a greenish-yellowish hew. Does this mean it's preparing to sprout new fronds? Or is something wrong with it? |

| Means those fronds are dying. Keep an eye on your watering, either too much or too little. |

| It could be getting ready to jettison those fronds for a new flush, but over wet conditions is also a possibility. Had that happen with mine (in the ground) where part of the year it gets too much seepage. The old fronds all slowly yellowed but were replaced with a new flush. It would be far better off if I moved it to a better drained site with less risk of it rotting. |
