Well, let’s talk about this sago palm thing, you know, the one they call sago palm. I heard folks callin’ it that. Now, about how hot or cold it can take, that’s what we’re gonna jaw about.
Temperature, huh? That’s important. These sago palms, they ain’t like us, they can’t just put on a sweater when it gets chilly. They like it warm, but not too hot, see? From what I hear, the best is somewhere ‘tween 65 and 80, that’s Fahrenheit, mind you. Like a nice spring day, not too hot, not too cold. That’s 18 to 27 in them Celsius degrees, for them fancy folks who use that.
Now, they can handle a bit of cold, but frost? No sir, they don’t like that one bit. Frost’ll kill ’em quicker than a chicken hawk snatchin’ a chick. You gotta keep ’em warm if it’s gonna freeze. Wrap ’em up in somethin’, a blanket or somethin’ they make for plants, I dunno what they call it. Just keep that frost off, that’s the main thing.
- Keep ’em warm when it’s cold.
- Don’t let ’em get too hot.
- And no sudden changes, they don’t like that neither.
I heard tell some sago palms can live through colder weather, even down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s mighty cold! And some say they can take the heat too, up to 110 degrees! But that don’t mean they like it, ya hear? Just like I can eat a burnt biscuit, doesn’t mean I want to. Best to keep ’em in that sweet spot, that 65 to 80, like I said before.
Now, some folks, they like to put their sago palms inside. That’s fine, I guess, but you gotta be careful. Don’t put ’em right next to a window where the sun beats down all day. They’ll scorch, just like your arm would if you held it over a fire too long. And don’t put ’em in a dark corner neither. They need some sun, but not too much. Kinda like a dappled shade, you know, like under a tree where the sun pokes through the leaves.
And wind! Oh, them sago palms don’t like the wind much. It’ll tear up their leaves somethin’ awful. So, if you got ’em outside, find a spot where the wind don’t blow too hard. Maybe behind the house or somethin’.
So, to keep your sago palm happy, you gotta think about the temperature. Not too hot, not too cold. And no big changes all of a sudden. Keep ’em outta the frost, give ’em some sun, but not too much, and keep ’em outta the wind. It ain’t rocket science, ya know? Just common sense, like not lettin’ the cows out in a blizzard.
Some say 50 to 85 degrees is the real sweet spot. Well, that ain’t too far off from what I said, is it? Just remember, keep it steady, that’s the key. Don’t let it swing up and down like a yo-yo. And if you do all that, your sago palm should do just fine. It’ll grow big and strong, and you can show it off to all your neighbors. They’ll be green with envy, let me tell ya.
And don’t forget, if it gets too cold, or too hot, you gotta do somethin’ about it. Move ’em inside, cover ’em up, whatever it takes. Just like you’d take care of a baby chick, you gotta take care of your sago palm. It’s a livin’ thing, after all.
So, there you have it. All you need to know about keepin’ your sago palm at the right temperature. It ain’t hard, just takes a little bit of thinkin’ and a little bit of doin’. And if you do it right, you’ll have a purdy sago palm for years to come. Now, I gotta go feed the chickens.
