If you do not get any replies, send to master gardener and they can identify, or do an internet search on florida plants and look for a similar plant.

According to google picture search possibly
Chamaedorea cataractarum, the cat palm, cascade palm, or cataract palm, is a small palm tree. It is native to Southern Mexico and Central America.

If you have an iphone with ios 15 or later … it has a built in ability to identify plants and animals based on photos.

To use this feature you need to have “Show in Lookup” enabled in the Siri settings.

To use this feature open the photo with the plant (or animal) on your iphone … then depress the “i” … and then click “lookup plant”

My iphone says this is either a Chamaedorea cataaractarium or Chamaedorea. I have no experience with Apples identification accuracy.

Lens returns the same as everyone else - cataract palm. Lens is a similar app to the one iphones have, except it's for Androids and Google Pixels or other similar tablets, and is provided by Google.

I read that as

"Can anyone tell me what Planet this is?" To which the answer, of course, would have been Pluto.

You can even just do a Screenshot of the pic posted here and identify it with an iPhone, iPad, or probably an Android device. So cool!

Default Sago Palm......Very toxic

It kills the animal. My dog got one and she ended up spending 3 days up at the Gainesville animal hospital on all kinds of stuff to help her liver and GI tract. All parts of the plant are toxic to touch and breathe in the gases it emits, worse at night. I no longer have the thing on my property, but I see them all over the place in TV. GET RID OF THEM CAREFULLY! Sorry we have them around here, along with all the Roundup and other toxins that companies put into the ground that eventually get into our ground water. They say, "Oh it won't hurt the dog.".....to which you maybe can say, "Let me see you swallow some of it then." Sorry to sound so turned off by the poison sprayed all over here, but some of us need to speak up about the chemicals sprayed and poured all over the place here. We live here and need to keep our environment safe.

Sorry...that is most definitely not a Sago Palm.
