Review: Great results for for our Sago palm growth and health! - I have been using Carl Pool Palm Food for serveral years with excellent results. We have 2 sago palms in our front yard, which are the focal points of our home driveway. This product has helped to maintain the palms in good health with new growth each year. It is easy to apply and is cost effective. I highly recommend this product for sago palms but don't know how effective it might be for other palm varieties. Review: Breathes life every 4 months! - My sago and foxtail palms were yellow and droopy after a brutal summer—thought they were goners. Switched to Carl Pool after reading it's the gold standard for micronutrients, and wow: two applications later, fronds are exploding with new growth, no more frizzle! The 12-4-12 mix with extra mag and manganese is spot-on; no leaching in my sandy soil, and it fed for a full season. Easy to scoop around the drip line, and my hibiscus bonus bloomed like crazy too. Beats pricey Miracle-Gro hands down—my backyard oasis is back! If your palms need a boost, this is the one. 5 stars forever. ## Features - Scientifically Formulated for Optimum Plant Growth - 3-4 Month Nitrogen Release from Ureaform - Contains Extra Magnesium & Manganese Palms Need - Great for All Palm Varieties - Used by Professional Palm Growers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,264 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #813 in Garden Fertilizers | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 691 Reviews | ## Images ![Carl Pool Palm Food 12-4-12 4 Lbs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91l-PxsfqzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great results for for our Sago palm growth and health! *by D***E on January 8, 2026* I have been using Carl Pool Palm Food for serveral years with excellent results.

But this item was delivered with a slightly open lid and palm food got all over the item that Amazon packaged it with. Very unhappy about the packaging by Amazon! ## Frequently Bought Together - Carl Pool Palm Food 12-4-12 4 Lbs - Carl Pool Crepe Myrtle Plant Food 24oz 8-55-7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5453167-carl-pool-palm-food-12-4-12-4-lbs](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5453167-carl-pool-palm-food-12-4-12-4-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
