The Kentia Palm, scientifically known as Howea forsteriana, is an elegant and resilient palm that adds a tropical touch to any indoor space. With its long, arching fronds and slender, green trunks, the Kentia Palm is both graceful and easy to care for, making it a favorite choice for homes and offices. It’s highly adaptable, thriving in low-light environments, and is known for being low-maintenance. The Kentia Palm is also air-purifying, improving indoor air quality while bringing a lush, tropical vibe to any setting.

Type of Light: Low to Medium Indirect Light
The Kentia Palm thrives in low to medium indirect light, making it ideal for shaded indoor areas or rooms without direct sunlight. While it can tolerate low light, it will grow more vigorously in bright, filtered light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds.

Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
Water the Kentia Palm when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. Be sure to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings, and avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. In winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows.

Companion Planting:
Kentia Palm pairs beautifully with other tropical and low-light houseplants such as Peace Lily, Snake Plant, and ZZ Plant. Its tall, arching fronds provide an elegant backdrop for smaller plants like Ferns and Spider Plants. These companions create a lush, relaxing indoor garden while thriving in similar low-light and easy-care conditions.
