      Make sure you give them the correct amount & type of sunlight they need.

      @gh0style239 Год назад +4

      I think with enough patience really any drill bit could work, it’s just using too much force or speed that’ll guarantee it breaks, but if you have like 10 minutes to slowly drill through it it should hopefully be fine

    • @thetwistedsamurai
      @thetwistedsamurai Год назад +21

      It’s literally an ancient method to put holes in ceramic and pottery, though. I don’t understand why it didn’t work. Maybe not enough water…?

    • @PiXie232
      @PiXie232 Год назад +7

      @@thetwistedsamurai I’m pretty sure it needs to be done in the center- it looks like she was off to the side a fair bit which is likely what caused it to break because it didn’t have an equal amount of pressure and force on the pot when she was making the hole. Which sucks because it was a really cute pot too:(
      But otherwise it should work with that amount of water and if it’s ceramic.

    I have the most resilient sago EVER! I got her out of a pile of cuttings and other plant bits, she had been dug up whole and tossed aside. I took her home in an empty pot I happened to have in the back of my car and I sat it out in my front yard. I got busy with life and about a month later I realized that I had never thrown any soil in the pot when I got it home. At the time I only had a little so I put what I had in there and planned to get more in the next day or two. That was about a year ago and I forgot until I just seen this that I never did put any more in it. It's growing like crazy. Big and beautiful. Hardly any soil. I haven't cut it back or done anything with it.

    I bought one that looked just like that on super discount from Sam’s Club. I was patting myself on the back for scoring a beautiful faux palm for my apartment (I am a plant killer)…a month later I’m asking myself ‘wasn’t that palm all green when I bought it?’ Another couple weeks and I realize this yellow palm is ALIVE and DYING!!! I gave it to a friend and she rescued it and it lives happily in her home now 😊 I didn’t know it was a sago, and I didn’t know it was toxic to humans and pets. I’ll tell her right away, thanks so much for this video!

    Such an interesting plant to learn about, I have two so was concerned when heard toxic even thou outside,
    These mini “palm” trees have existed since the prehistoric era, and their outstanding appearance is pretty dominant for an old-aged plant species. The other names for sago palms include palm cycads or Japanese funeral palms. It is because, in their native island in Japan, their foliage is used for funeral events.
    The symmetrical plant has a bunch of fronds; each consists of dark green leaflets which grow out like feathers on a thick rough-skinned trunk. The trunk can grow branches many times which then produce multiple fronds. The mature plant can reach 10 feet (about 3 meters) tall when cared well outdoors
    There are male and female sago palms. While the male sagos grow a hump (cone) as tall as 12 - 24 inches, the female ones grow a foliage structure that looks like a basket in the center upper part of the tree. The females also produce ovules, and the leaf structure opens up when they are ready to catch pollens-for fertilization process-from the males blown by the wind or carried by insects.
    The Health Benefits From Sago Palms
    In Indonesia, sago palms are also used for alternative herbal remedy. Freshly-picked or dried leaflets, seeds, and roots of sago palms can be used to treat some of the following diseases (with the instructions of use).
    High Blood Pressure And Pulmonary Tuberculosis With A Bloody Cough
    Boil 13 grams of sago palm leaves or 10-15 grams of its seeds with 4 cups of water. Drink this brewed water twice a day, one glass each.
    Dysentery
    Mix 15 drops of sago palm sap, 1 tablespoon of honey, and ¼ cup of boiled water, then stir evenly. Drink the mixture twice a day in the morning and evening.
    Cancer
    Boil 13 grams of dried sago palm leaves with 2 cups of water. Drink the brewed water twice a day, ½ cup each.
    Stomach Ache
    Boil 15 grams of dried sago palm leaves with 4 cups of water. When cool, drink the brewed water twice a day, 1 cup each.
    Please note that the seeds and hump (cone) of the upper part of sago palm are toxic, so the plant use should be carefully done. Symptoms of poisoning caused include dizziness and vomiting.

    Yellowing can also indicate underwatering

    I didn't know it was toxic 💀 I rub against it everyday and touch it.

    I gotta see the follow up on this one!
    Hey, if a plant's leaf tips start turning brown and crispy...no yellowing...is this a sign of underwatering?
    Yellowing and crisping leaves on a pothos you forget to water so maybe gets water 1-2 times a month...underwatering?
    I need you to come to my house and help me help my plants. I haven't lost any yet, but they aren't really growing and some of them look really sad. I have orchids that all but one the leaves look great, even though the blooms have been gone for a while now, but one of them all the leaves are turning yellow and shriveled...the roots still look good and it's putting on new growth off of one of the old bud stems, but it doesn't have any leaves that look healthy! Ahh! What do I do????
