: I emailed you in June about this
: sago.
: Resulted in purchasing your
: fertilizer and increasing the
: 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
: into a more severe tilt. I removed
: some of the planting medium from
: around the base of the plant and
: 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
: reduce the watering because the
: weather is cooler? Thank you for
: your help - your site is a wealth of
: information.
:
: 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.

Thank you!
