Howea Forsteriana - Kentia Palm

Kentia Palm: elegant, effortless, and quietly tropical.
With its graceful arching fronds and lush, feather-like foliage, the Kentia Palm brings a calm, architectural presence to any interior. A timeless favourite for homes, offices, and shaded conservatories, this slow-growing palm is as low-maintenance as it is beautiful. Native to Lord Howe Island and beloved by Victorian plant collectors, it’s a classic for a reason.

Plant Care

Position: bright, indirect light – tolerates shade but avoid harsh, direct sun
Watering: water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry – allow excess to drain
Humidity: enjoys humidity – mist occasionally or place near other plants
Hot Tips: dust fronds gently to keep them glossy and green. Repot infrequently – Kentias prefer to be slightly rootbound. Pet friendly and air-purifying.
