Howea forsteriana | Houseplant
kentia palm
One of the most popular palms which if you stepped back into the Victorian times would have been seen in many a drawing room. They are still popular today as they are easy to grow, evergreen and will complement most rooms. Keep them away from direct sunlight as this can burn the leaves, and away from cold draughts.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Howea forsteriana:
Kentia palms thrive in bright, indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged—always check the top of the soil before watering, and reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
This palm enjoys humidity, so mist the leaves regularly, especially in warm rooms or during hot weather. Avoid placing it near radiators or draughts, which can cause leaf browning.
Dust the leaves occasionally to keep them looking their best and to help with photosynthesis. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound, as kentia palms dislike being disturbed.
