We got one nice little trimming off it for cooking before I parched it. Still looked kinda cool so we kept it. har.

According to Google a cutting will flower in 2 to 3 years. Hold in there.

that sago palm is a nice tree, my brother has one but it never gets more than 1-3 leaf branches, it grows pretty then they fall off and new ones come up. i like it with only 1-3 sticking out.. nice and small

Is it inside or out?/how is the lighting? How is it waterd ,is when the soil is damp dry? Do the leaves slays fall off at a specific length or age?

it is inside, light is about what you get from a kitchen table, indirect sunlight.

no idea on the other specifics, just know that i like it
