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.

    Smalltown Superhero Noir
    Format: Paperback
    Not your standard superhero battle-fest. Local Man is what happens when suddenly you're not 20 anymore, you're kicked off the team in disgrace and have to basically beg your judgy parents for couch space while you somehow, someway, try to put your life back together. And then there are all the murders, just after you come into town. Makes a body think, it does. Hard smalltown noir, with nasty little secrets and petty jealousies, mixed with a superhero chaser, My new favorite.

    Back to the 90s
    Format: Hardcover
    This is one hell of a read with plenty of love for 90s comics. I cannot believe we had a cameo from Boof and an appearance from Battle Pope! The entire series is absolutely flawless with its noir murder mystery and the little homage moments made reading this book a huge nostalgic trip
