The Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) is one of the most elegant and enduring indoor palms, native to Lord Howe Island off the coast of Australia. A member of the Arecaceae family, it has been a favourite of interior designers and plant enthusiasts for over a century thanks to its graceful, arching fronds and tolerance of indoor conditions.

The Kentia Palm grows from a single slender trunk, topped with long, feather-like fronds composed of numerous narrow leaflets that cascade elegantly outward. The lush green foliage creates a calm, tropical atmosphere, making it perfect for homes, offices, and commercial spaces.

In its natural habitat, Howea forsteriana can reach heights of 10–12 metres, but when grown indoors, it usually stays between 1.5–3 metres, depending on care and pot size. Its slow growth and robust nature make it ideal for long-term cultivation indoors.


Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light but is also one of the most shade-tolerant palms. It will grow well in medium light conditions away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its fronds.

Watering

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist in spring and summer, but never allow it to become waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter. Always ensure the pot has good drainage.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C.

  • Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity but will appreciate occasional misting to prevent brown leaf tips.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining, rich peat-free compost mixed with perlite or horticultural grit for aeration. Repot every 2–3 years in spring, or when roots become crowded, moving up just one pot size at a time.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted palm fertiliser or balanced liquid feed. Do not fertilise during winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or brown fronds at the base to maintain its neat appearance. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and allow efficient photosynthesis.

Growth and Maturity

A slow-growing palm that reaches around 2–3 m indoors. Its upright, feathered fronds can extend over a metre, creating an impressive but not overwhelming statement.

Common Issues

  • Brown leaf tips: Usually due to low humidity, hard water, or over-fertilisation.

  • Yellowing fronds: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites or scale insects; wipe leaves regularly and inspect for pests.

Background and Benefits

The Kentia Palm has a long history of popularity in grand interiors — even adorning Victorian conservatories and royal residences. It is exceptionally tough and forgiving, making it perfect for those seeking an easy-care, air-purifying houseplant that provides lasting greenery and elegance.

    So gentle and moisturizing. Great for super sensitive skin.
    Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
    This is so gentle and moisturizing. Does not irritate my skin in any way. My skin is super sensitive and I have atopic dermatitis, it has been the best cleanser I’ve used to date. I was using another one from this brand and it was fine but this is the one I will continually stick with from now on. Just hope they don’t change the formula.

    A foaming cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin!
    Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
    I have very dry, reactive skin and initially looked past this face wash because it is foaming which is usually a no-go for my skin. I am pleasantly surprised with how well my skin tolerated this product. No dryness or irritation and my face felt clean. I also love that it is fragrance free because fragrances seem to really irritate my skin and who needs to smell their face wash? I am happy to say this is another great product from Avene!

    Gentle cleanser for dry and sensitive skin.
    Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser, Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
    I have dry and sensitive skin, and this cleanser has worked very well for me. It is very gentle on the skin and has not caused any irritation. The texture is light and foamy, it spreads easily across the face and rinses off without leaving any residue. After using it, my skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable, without any tightness. The size is quite large, which I find great because it lasts a long time with daily use. Overall, a simple but very pleasant cleanser for sensitive skin.
