: I emailed you in June about this sago.
: Resulted in purchasing your

: watering schedule to every 3 days.
: I have fertilized it twice now. I
: live in Austin, Texas and it has
: gotten cooler so I reduced watering
: to every 5 days. The plant grows
: tilted to the front in the pot.
: About two weeks ago, it had fallen

: straightened it. About two days
: ago, I noticed the front leaf is
: laying down and seems loose at the
: connection to the top. The other
: leaves seem ok. There are brown
: furry finger looking growths just
: behind this leaf. What is happening
: to the sago? Is the leaf loose
: because there is rot? Should I

It couldn't hurt to cut back an extra day in your watering when it is cooler. It is hard to say what made your single leaf turn down. If I saw that on one of my plants, I would cut that leaf off to reduce to pulling on the head and if you are worried, put some fungicide on that area, like a little Daconil, or something like that. If it is just one leaf there usually is not a bad problem to be overly worried about. I get that sometimes on new leaves that are overly long and the leaf stem for some reason can not support the leaf.
