Howea forsteriana – Kentia Palm Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Wave goodbye to the dry! To avoid tips drying out and turning brown, mist regularly or place in a high humid environment away from frequent traffic.
A gentle grooming! Dust (or shower) from time-to-time and remove any dead stems, cutting close to the trunk. Brown tips can be trimmed if desired, but avoid cutting into any green foliage.
Too much sun isn’t fun! If leaves are fading, bleaching or spotting, the palm is receiving too much direct light. Placing in an east or west-facing window will provide it with the right level of light.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate shade. Direct morning or afternoon sunlight for a few hours a day should not harm an established plant, providing it is not too harsh.
Watering
Be careful not to overwater your Kentia Palm as this can lead to waterlogged roots and rot. Allow the top of the soil to dry out before watering again.
Temperature
The Howea forsteriana prefers average household temperatures: between 16-24°C, but do not allow it to fall lower than 13°C. Avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
Howea forsteriana prefers increased humidity levels. Place on a shallow gravel tray filled with water and mist regularly. Ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
Feed
Liquid fertiliser can be applied occasionally during the growing season. Try not to over-feed.
