Kentia Palm

(Howea)

The Kentia Palm prefers a bright diffused light to semi-shady and will even low light.

This palm prefers room temperature all year long.

A uniformly moist soil, not soggy, is preferred. Drain the excess water in the saucer at the base of the pot to prevent root rot and to protect furniture. Let the soil dry out slightly in between waterings, but not completely.

Fertilize once a week with a diluted solution in the summer months.

Key tip for success: Make sure the leaves do not become dusty. If so, wash it off with a warm cloth. This allows the plant to take in air more efficiently.
