Howea forsteriana
Howea forsteriana, commonly referred to as the Kentia palm, is a graceful palm species native to Lord Howe Island. It boasts a slender trunk crowned with feathery, arching fronds. Its moderate growth rate, adaptability to various light levels, and low maintenance needs make it a favoured choice as a houseplant.
The Kentia palm flourishes in bright indirect light but will tolerate medium to low light. It only requires infrequent watering and tolerates a range of humidity levels, although it will enjoy being misted regularly.
Its elegant appearance and air-purifying qualities contribute to its popularity in interior design and as a tropical accent. A trouble free houseplant, ideal for the home or an office.
