Dividing 10-Foot Kentia Palm: Check Root Structure First

Your 10+ ft Kentia has 4 large stalks in one pot. Want to divide into 2 pots.

Critical Check

Kentias are usually seed-grown (single trunk). Unpot to see: Are there 4 separate root balls, or 1 root ball with 4 trunks?

• Separate root balls: Divide easily. Pot each group. Shade until recovered.
• Single root ball: Cannot divide—will kill it. Propagate by seed only.

Check first. Good luck!
