bonsai sago palm (Cycas revoluta), will it heal?.

| Hi,
The palm leaves on my bonsai sago palm (Cycas revoluta) all died. I cut off the dead leaves and now just have the stump. Will it grow new palm leaves or should I toss it? If it will grow new leaves, do you have any advice on how to help the plant? Thanks.

| A similar thing happened to my Grewia when I went away on Vacation and left my mom to care for the plant. Bad idea, All the leaves wilted and died and I thought the plant was dead. I gave it one last watering (a heavy watering) and left it for a few days (2-3? i think) and to my surprise the plant started budding. It has recovered, so why no try to see if you can salvage it. |

| Why did the leaves all die? It was probably lack of water. If that is the case all is not lost. I would water the tree thoroughly and set it aside in a place where it doesn't get more that 3-5 hrs. of sun a day and give it a rest. Mist the stump daily but don't soak the soil, just keep it damp. If the tree is alive it should start to sprout new leaves in a couple of months. In any case I would keep trying for at least six months before I declared it dead. If the top collapses and falls apart it is dead for sure. |
