Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana): Elegant, Expensive Palm for Any Light

Howea forsteriana: The Aristocrat of Indoor Palms

Kentia palm (Howea forsteriana) is the most elegant—and pricey—indoor palm. Slow-growing, 4–12+ feet, with graceful, feathery, dark-green fronds on a single slender trunk. Tolerates low light, dry air, and neglect better than most palms. Direct sun burns leaves.

Investment Piece

Medium to low indirect light; water when top half of soil dries. Long-lived, durable, and adaptable. Worth the cost for instant sophistication.
