More information
This beautiful Kentia palm, also known as the Howea Forsteriana, is sure to bring a touch of exoticism to your office or living room. The palm is originally from Australia, but it is very popular in our regions as a house plant. This species of Forsteriana is also the only Kentia that is cultivated in our regions. It belongs to the palm family and is one of the oldest houseplants! It is a also a relatively slow growing and tough palm, which makes it quite easy to care for.
Care
The Kentia is ideal for people without green fingers, as the plant needs very little water. From February to September, weekly watering is sufficient. For the rest of the year, water the plant once a month. Furthermore, the ideal room temperature for the Kentia is between 15C° and 25C°. The plant needs plenty of light, but does not like direct sunlight, as this burns its leaves. The palm therefore prefers a shady or semi-shady place. Therefore, place the plant preferably near a north-facing window. If the leaves become lighter or yellow, it could mean that it is getting too much sunlight. In that case, move the Kentia to a more shady spot.
Size
The plants have a height of 90-100cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 18cm.
