Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) – A Timeless, Low-Maintenance Statement Plant
The Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) isn’t actually a palm at all—it’s a cycad, one of the most ancient plant groups on Earth, dating back over 200 million years. This slow-growing, architectural beauty is perfect for adding a touch of tropical elegance to your home. Whether placed indoors in a decorative pot or outdoors in a warm climate, the Sago Palm is a striking addition that requires minimal maintenance.
What Makes the Sago Palm Special?
- Unique, Ancient Beauty – With its symmetrical rosette of stiff, dark green fronds, the Sago Palm has a prehistoric charm that instantly makes a statement. Unlike typical ferns or palms, its fronds are glossy, rigid, and almost feather-like, creating a structured, sculptural effect.
- Extremely Low Maintenance – It’s drought-tolerant, slow-growing, and thrives on neglect. If you love plants that don’t demand constant attention, this one is perfect.
- Long-Lived and Sentimental – The Sago Palm can live for decades, sometimes over 100 years. If you enjoy forming connections with your plants, this one could become a lifelong companion—or even an heirloom to pass down.
- Versatile Placement – It works beautifully as both an indoor and outdoor plant. Indoors, it adds a refined tropical touch; outdoors, it can be a dramatic accent in landscaping.
- Pet Warning – All parts of the Sago Palm are toxic if ingested, especially to pets. If you have cats or dogs that like to nibble on plants, consider placing this one out of reach or opting for a pet-friendly alternative.
How Does the Sago Palm Stand Out from Other Palms and Cycads?
The Sago Palm is one of the most popular cycads, but what makes it different?
- More Cold Hardy Than True Palms – While it prefers warmth, it can tolerate cooler temperatures (down to around 15°F) better than many tropical palms.
- Distinctive Stiff Fronds – Unlike softer palm leaves, the Sago Palm’s fronds are rigid and glossy, almost like a living sculpture.
- Dramatic Growth Pattern – New leaves emerge in a circular flush, all at once, making for an exciting display.
How to Use the Sago Palm in Your Space
- As a Statement Houseplant – Place it in a decorative pot in a bright spot, and it will create a sculptural, tropical focal point.
- In a Minimalist or Modern Setting – Its structured, symmetrical growth makes it a great match for contemporary décor.
- In an Outdoor Landscape – If you live in a warm climate, plant it in the ground or a large container for a low-maintenance, dramatic addition to your garden.
- On a Patio or Balcony – It thrives in containers, so it’s a great option for an outdoor seating area where you want some greenery but not a high-maintenance plant.
Care Guide
- Sun Exposure: Prefers bright, indirect light indoors. Outdoors, it thrives in full sun to partial shade.
- Watering: Let the soil dry out between waterings. Too much water can lead to root rot. Drought-tolerant once established.
- Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. A cactus or palm mix works well.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures but can tolerate some cold. Best kept above 50°F indoors.
- Fertilizer: A slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) will keep it healthy.

A ghost story with tons of heart
Format: Hardcover
On the surface, this is a story about two kids ghost hunting in the Appalachian woods. But in reality, it's a beautifully nuanced exploration of loving (but messy) families, opening up to those you love, kindling new friendships, cherishing and protecting the environment, facing challenging emotions head on, and so much more. I'm so grateful that highly sensitive children (and adults) will get to know this empathetic, peace-keeping main character. There are so many protagonists that save the day with their heroics, but bravery so much more often looks like Tennie. This book serves as a beautiful reminder for those of us constantly filling others' buckets that our own needs and wants matter too.

Delightful spooky middle grade
Format: Hardcover
I was thrilled to learn that Ash Van Otterloo was releasing a second spooky middle grade set in Howler's Hollow. Instead of the zombies we find in Cattywampus, this book stars a girl who can release memories and, it turns out, ghosts from objects. She needs to figure out what the ghosts are trying to tell her before it's too late.

Good middle-grade fantasy/mystery
Format: Kindle
The they/them pronouns made for difficult reading at times but the strength of the family a friendship dynamics more than made up for that. An adult reader may see some of the ‘surprises’ coming but typical middle grade readers probably wouldn’t be able to read between the lines well enough to spoil the surprise twists.

A book with so much heart
Format: Kindle
An absolutely delightful story with the perfect amount of spookiness. Light-hearted but also deep in its exploration of the ways we push down our own souls because of what we think others need.

Spooky Middle Grade Book
Format: Hardcover
I cannot explain how excited I was to hear that Ash Van Otterloo was putting out another book. I was a big fan of Cattywampus and was very excited once I read the summary of this book. I requested and was granted an ARC copy of this book by Scholastic in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I don’t think I have the exact words to express how much I adore this book. I’ve only recently discovered that as an adult I can actually enjoy middle grade books and this book has probably become one of my new all-time favorite books ever.
One of the biggest things that I adored about this book is the characters. Tennie is an absolute sweetheart who is way to willing to give up and hide pieces of herself for the sake of keeping the peace. It’s sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. I also love towards the end when she gets some fire in her. Fox was also quite a character. They’re kind of a bit much at times, but they’re also aware of their faults. They know that they can forget things and that they might annoy their friends, but they also try to soothe things over. I honestly really liked them, and it was really nice to see a character using they/them pronouns so casually.
The two characters had a really nice dynamic with each other. They grew close quickly, the way kids do, and delved into a ghost hunting adventure. It was honestly really cute and heartwarming to watch them grow closer. This also felt really good because of Tennie and her desire to always be the peacekeeper. She even considered being friends with Fox and exploring the forest together as her being “selfish”. I just really loved it and their interactions made me so happy. It wasn’t always great, but it just gave me so much joy and I was constantly smiling.
I did not expect to love the atmosphere that was created in this book. It was sufficiently spooky without being necessarily scary. It worked really well in the town of Howler’s Hollow. Howler’s Hollow is a town in the rural south, somewhere that’s not always popular with the LGBTQ+ community. The thing is, I don’t know if this book would have worked as well in other locations. It’s one of those towns where everyone seems to know everyone. It appears to be relatively close-knit, even if the people don’t always get on, and it has a great forest. The forest allows the atmosphere to be appropriately creepy while the people in the town add a source of information for Tennie and Fox. It was also built up very well and created an atmosphere that led to a great payoff at the end.
I cannot fully encapsulate everything that I love about this book, but I will recommend it to everyone who asks. This book is fun and whimsical with a dark edge and serious topics that need to be explored. It might hurt at times when things are discussed, but it has a happy ending.
