The Sago Palm has gotten a bad reputation over the years due to it being prone to the Asiatic Cyad Scale.

This scale has a white powdery, dandruff like appearance. The remedy to this scale
could be as easy as giving your Sagos a little “jolt of java!”

Yes, through much research over the years a tried and tested remedy can be as simple as applying your leftover coffee grounds around the base of your Sago Palm. This home remedy is cheap, simple, organic, and it works!

The scale will still exist, but the coffee grounds will help clean the Sago and will help prevent new infestations.
