Posted by Bonsai Care on Feb 11, 2009
I paid for this cold bonsai plant about dual weeks ago. when i looked it up upon the internet there was the design similar to the the single i have called sago palm. It looks similar to the half planted pineapple w/ the 4 leaves, branches, whatever, flourishing out the top, the same as the cinema i've seen. BUT, there is additionally for alternative branch arrange things flourishing from the middle, that honestly, i'm anticipating tough to describe. o.k. may be they arrange of demeanour like(ha ha) the behind bone w/ 1/2" ribs w/ the unequivocally tip of any the single curling in. Now nothing of the cinema i've seen have any thing similar to this. as well as the outline states that this plant grows unequivocally slow. WELL, the spinal column seeking branches flourishing from the center have been flourishing during the phenominal rate. 2 weeks ago they were about 6" tall. currently they have been roughly dual feet high! that's about an in. per day! what is this as well as what the heck do i do w/ it? it's essentially creation my plant demeanour unequivocally silly?
Whoops. Don't trim that plant. The expansion we have been saying is the latest set of fronds unfolding. This is called the flush. It will happed once (or twice in great conditions) the year. This is how the plant grows.
This plant can't be lerned by pruning. You can keep it tiny by vouchsafing it get as well as stay pot bound, though in the future it will get large as well as detonate the pot. In their healthy state these have been trees that can grasp fifteen or some-more feet in height.
While popularly called the Sago Palm, it is conjunction the palm nor does it furnish Sago. It is the Cycad, the single of the earth's many very old plants. You substantially have the Cycas revoluta or Cycas circinalis.
Sago, an critical food starch, comes from the tree called Metroxlyn sagus. In the local countries, the locals taint the trees with maggots that eat the Sago as well as afterwards the locals eat the maggots. Tasty, no? Have the bite.

You need to trim your bonsai tree. Trim the other growths off. Trimming keeps it at its small size. Use sharp scissors.
