Kentia Palm Watering and Light Adjustment

Correcting Kentia Palm Care After Overwatering

Two kentias in semi-sun show brown tips, then yellowing after heavy watering. Owner asks how to speed soil drying and if watering method is correct.

Fixes

• Light: Move to dappled shade; direct sun causes browning/spotting.
• Water: Don't let dry completely, but never saturate. Elevate pot on boards to improve drainage.
• Container: Nursery pots are temporary; repot into larger container with drainage.
