Kentia Palm 'Howea forsteriana'

The Kentia Palm brings timeless tropical elegance indoors with its long, arching fronds and feathery green foliage. Its upright form adds height and movement without overwhelming a room, making it a beautiful choice for living rooms, entryways, and offices.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light. Protect from harsh, direct sun.

Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Allow excess water to drain; avoid soggy soil.

Size: Commonly reaches 6–10 feet indoors. Slow-growing.

Temperature: Prefers 65–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and heating or air-conditioning vents.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes.

Feeding: Fertilize lightly during spring and summer with a fertilizer formulated for palms, following label directions.

Leaf care: Remove fully brown fronds at the base. Never cut the central growing spear or top the palm to control height.

Maintenance: Gently clean fronds and watch for spider mites, scale, and mealybugs. Brown tips can result from dry air, watering issues, or mineral buildup.

Pet safety: Considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
