Is it normal for Sago palms to have yellowish leaves?

Question

One of my sago palms has a yellowish tint to some of the leaves. The others get yellow leaves as they die off for new growth, but this one's turn yellowish much earlier. Is that normal?

Answer 1

No, it's not normal. They often yellow out in too hot direct sun, or if they need fertilizer. They yellow out in spots if there is scale on the leaves, a brown flat bug that looks like a tiny helmet.

Have you fertilized?
