ABOUT OUR KENTIA PALM

Hello, I’m Kentia! I’m not meaning to boast, but I’m definitely one of the favourites here. It’s because I’m so relaxed; I can cope with shade, the cold and I’m fairly forgiving if you forget to water me on a couple of occasions. Because of this, I’m probably the easiest ​indoor palm tree ​to grow for beginners.

While I might not be the most captivating potted ​palm plant ​you’ve ever laid eyes on, you will find that my lush leaves convert any space into a tropical enclave and can help brighten even the dullest of British days.

My Latin name, ​Howea Forsteriana​, is a bit of a mouthful, but you can call me Kentia, sentry palm or thatch palm – I answer to all three. I hail originally from the dazzling topical island of Lord Howe, a tiny speck of land in the South Pacific between Australia and New Zealand, whose economic fortunes in the 1800s once revolved entirely around little old me. Once I arrived in the UK, I became a status symbol for green-fingered Victorians who loved to showcase their treasures brought from exotic distant lands.

I can grow up to 12 metres in the wild, but don’t panic: I’m very slow growing and I’ll only hit heights of two or three metres in your home.

Small Height (including nursery pot) 45-50cm; pot diameter 13cm; Fits 14-16cm decorative pot.

Medium Height (including nursery pot) 75-85cm; pot diameter 17cm; Fits 17-19cm decorative pot.

Big Height (including nursery pot) 90-110cm; pot diameter 19cm; Fits 21-23cm decorative pot.

DID YOU KNOW?

​Queen Victoria owned a Kentia palm at Buckingham Palace back in the 1800s (although it’s believed she ​didn't​ buy it from us). This indoor palm was extremely popular in the Victorian era because of how it was able to tolerate low light conditions.

 

Kentia is the perfect beginner’s ​palm plant​: easy to care for, air purifying and pet friendly. He can fill an empty corner or bring a tropical atmosphere to any room.


QUICK KENTIA PALM PLANT CARE

Kentia is so relaxed he’s almost horizontal and is the perfect option for new palm parents or or as a gift to a friend.

LIGHTING

While I’m an easy-going guy and can cope with low light, I’ll grow lusher, thicker foliage if you keep me in indirect sunlight.

WATERING

Hailing from tropical shores, I do prefer to be on the drier side and will forgive you for irregular watering. Only top me up if my soil is dry.

HUMIDITY

I’m not fussy in the humidity department. Mist my foliage once a week to prevent brown tips.

FERTILISER

​During summer, I love a dash of fertiliser, which will encourage me to grow.

THINGS WE ALWAYS GET ASKED

​How do you care for a Kentia palm plant?

Even if you’ve got a track record of killing your new potted plants, you can rest assured that this guy is hardy and uber tolerant. He prefers temperatures above 12°C, so while he can enjoy a shady spot outside on a balcony or by a window during summer, he’d prefer to be indoors somewhere snug for the winter.

How much light does a Kentia palm need?

Yes, these ​palm house plants​ like sunlight, but you’ll want to keep him away from direct light. Opt for a spot that does get some light if you want him to flourish.

How often do you water a Kentia palm?

A dash of water – weekly in summer and even less frequently in winter – is the key to good care of the Kentia palm. He really doesn’t like to sit in water, so ensure the soil is dry before you top him up. A weekly spritz using a​ ​plant mister​ keeps brown leaves at bay; if he’s too damp, you’ll notice the very tips of his leaves going yellow.

PLANT STYLING TIPS

​Kentia has been used for indoor decoration for hundreds of years and is a real statement houseplant; and was used in rooms for entertaining guests. Nowadays, its luscious tropical leaves will brighten up practically any room. We recommend it for your bathroom or kitchen, but you can use it to add a dash of green to your hallway or become the centre of attention in your living room.

Pair this statement plant with the ​calm crystal​ or ​our grounding candle​ for a tranquil and welcoming environment.

Mastery is the goal, The Laws of Human Nature is the Truth
Format: Hardcover
Mastery is the goal. It’s us striving for our best. It’s optimistic. The Laws of Human Nature is what we actually are. I read the first chapter and put it down for a week. I knew I trusted the author and that I could gain incredible insight in finishing the book. But I had to drop my expectations and comparisons to his other work and wrap my head around the journey I was going to take. Now I am near the end of the book and feel incredibly connected to myself. Here’s why: I’ve become spoiled with the author’s other works—learning the game, how to win, manipulate, and grow. But to me, regarding his other works, it always felt like the weaknesses rested on my adversaries. I was above them. I had secret weapons. This is no longer the case. Maybe it’s also an age and perspective thing. I started his books in my early 20’s and now I’m older. I am more grounded in my ability to understand others and my arrogance has been replaced with curiosity. My existential crises come out in jokes rather than tears and I’ve accepted that absolutely everything is absurd. (I’ve also read The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker and come to terms with my impermanence which makes Laws of Human Nature less tragic to take on.) I loved the scientific and historical examples throughout. Trusting the author, I didn’t mind that the format was a bit different than his other works. Typically, they begin with an historical example and are followed by a breakdown then a law. This book is the opposite. I didn’t mind being presented information first, followed by historical or scientific examples later as it gave me room to find the examples in my own life first. I think this book isn’t meant to be skimmed and that the formatting is intentional. The reader needs to be ready to look at the uglier parts of themselves. To really delve in, I had to realize that I am not the exception to any of the rules or laws outlined in his other work. I am the rule. I almost wished I had read this one first. I’ve used his other work to build my life circumstances, but not so often reflected on my own weaknesses in such a microscopic way as required by The Laws of Human Nature. It causes one to breakdown themselves and their processes and doesn’t throw a stone on the adversary or tackle external circumstances as much in my opinion. In Laws of Human Nature, I am both the adversary and the obstacle. This book is a true exercise in humility and honest self-reflection. It’s not the game tape outlined in the author’s other works. It is the finish line. It brings us back to the beginning—our true ugly, flawed, selfish selves. Get through the grieving process to acceptance, and this is an incredible book.

Lovely
Format: Paperback
Good book, but you know the usual has its fluff, but that’s all Robert Green books. However, the stories are unmatched and if you have a vivid imagination, you’ll be able to understand and comprehend what’s going on ,it’s lovely.

Different, but in a good way
Format: Paperback
I have read all of Robert Greenes previous books, and I always walked away in amazement. I would see the negative reviews those books received, but I would always ignore them and thank God that I did. That compelled me to buy this book once I saw it was released and once again, the negative review bugs are back out. Normally, I wouldn’t write a review on a book because I would rather the reader form their own opinion. This book is different, and I would like to address this for anyone who is a Robert Greene fan or in the process of becoming one. This book is exactly what every human alive needs to read, which is why I am writing this review to stop the second guessers. It focuses on how our emotions are destructive and how we must be careful about how freely we let them out now. Yes, the style is different from his past books. He goes into narratives about the different emotions, what they can do, and how we can control them while occasionally touching on how they played out in history. For many fans of his previous books, this can be disappointing as we are used to reading thrilling tales throughout history and how they play into the law he is explaining in that chapter with side bar quotes of knowledge from historic figures. I understand why he could not take that approach with this book, as he wanted to focus more on explaining the emotions on a psychological level instead of a historical one. Is there entertaining and historic tales in the book? Yes, somewhat but nowhere near like his past books. I ask that you open your mind to this book and allow your knowledge to grow in a world where emotional control is decaying. Like he said in this book, don’t let your emotional impulses cloud your judgement. Step back, take a second, reassess and approach this book with a clear mind. You will thank me for it.

In-depth and comprehensive
Format: Kindle
This book was so full of information about the human animal. Is the only wish I had this information earlier in my life. I wish my kids would read it, and perhaps they will. It's very in depth and leaves me reflecting on how I want to change some of my thinking and behaviors like no other book I've read. I wish I belonged to a book club just to discuss it with other readers! I don't necessarily agree with everything that the author states. But it was a most thought provoking book and I read allot of books! Allot of work went into the writing of this book. Near perfect editing which I appreciated. I am a big fan of human psychology and it held my interest and kept me up too late not wanting to put it down!
