All about
The Kentia palm dossier
Howea forsteriana
The Kentia palm comes from Lord Howe Island, a small island off the coast of Australia. There it slowly grows into a graceful palm several meters high. Since the nineteenth century it has been the salon palm: elegant, calm and very strong.
Its soft, arching leaves immediately give any room a green, serene appearance.

Placement and light
The Kentia is one of the few palms that also does well in a less bright spot. A spot with light to partial shade, without direct afternoon sun, is ideal; it burns the leaf. A north window or a place further from the window is also fine.
Keep the temperature above 12 degrees and avoid cold drafts. Turn the plant occasionally for a nice, full shape.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in summer and once every ten to fourteen days in winter. The root ball is allowed to dry slightly in between; the Kentia would rather be a little too dry than too wet. Spray the leaves occasionally, especially in winter with dry heating air.
Provide palm food or general plant food once a month during the growing season.
Is something wrong with your Kentia palm?
Brown leaf tips indicate dry air or too little water. Yellow leaves usually indicate too much water or too much direct sunlight. It is normal that the bottom leaf slowly dies: this is how the palm renews itself. Spider mites can appear in dry air.
The Kentia grows slowly and only needs to be repotted once every three to four years. Its roots are sensitive: keep the root ball intact as much as possible and repot carefully in the spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger and pay attention to good drainage. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
Good news for pet owners: the Kentia palm is not poisonous to cats and dogs. A nibbling cat will at most leave a bad taste. This makes this one of the most beautiful animal-friendly plants in the house.
The Kentia is a deliberately slow grower: a few new leaves per year. A large specimen is therefore many years old. Our XXL Kentias immediately give your interior that mature, serene palm feeling that you would otherwise wait ten years for.
This Howea forsteriana is 75 cm tall including the nursery pot and comes in a pot of ø17 cm. The Kentia palm grows slowly, so it will remain approximately this size for several years.
Does a Kentia palm need a lot of light?
No, a Kentia palm does well in a bright spot without direct sun and also tolerates partial shade. In bright sun, the leaves can burn.
How often do you water a Howea forsteriana?
Water when the top layer of soil feels dry, about once a week in summer. It can be less in winter. Wet roots cause root rot.
Is a Howea forsteriana safe for cats and dogs?
Yes, the Kentia palm is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs.
When do you repot a Kentia palm?
A Kentia likes to be slightly pot-bound and only needs a larger pot once every two to three years. Repot in spring and be careful with the roots.
