Kentia Palm - HOWEA forsteriana - 40cm

Bring timeless elegance into your home with the Kentia Palm – Howea forsteriana (40cm)

Commonly known as the Kentia Palm, Howea forsteriana is an Australian native species originating from Lord Howe Island off the country’s east coast. A relatively slow-growing palm, it features a slender trunk and beautiful feather-shaped, gently drooping fronds that create a soft, tropical look.

A firm favourite since Victorian times, the Kentia Palm remains just as popular today thanks to its resilience and classic style. It tolerates low light conditions, air conditioning, and central heating — making it ideal for modern indoor living.

Full Sun / Part Sun / Shade
Best suited to bright, indirect light indoors, but tolerant of lower light conditions. If placed outdoors, choose a shaded or partially shaded position and avoid harsh direct midday sun.

Care Tips:
• Place indoors in bright but indirect sunlight
• Avoid overwatering
• Tolerates lower light environments
• If placed outdoors, choose a shady position

Over time, Howea forsteriana can reach an impressive height of up to 9 metres and a spread of 4 metres in the right conditions.
