Mine was doing the same thing. I read around on the internet and discovered that I was underwatering the plant. I found that if I keep the soil of my palm slightly moist then it seems happier. Hope this helps. [Wink]

hi!
another thing with sago palms is that after the top leaves grow in, sometimes the bottom ones will fall off. But ya, keep the soil well drained, but moist, and lotsa sun, and it should be a happy plant ^.^
