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.

waste of money
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
This is a total waste of money. Its only going to free stand if you arent moving it. If you are planning on dividing a room, and then folding these for space and then dividing the room again, itll last a few days. The poles kept coming off of the screws that holds the fabric on the poles together. Was fixing this EVERY DAY. Finally got tired of doing this and just threw it out. Lot of money spent on garbage. Get a sheet room divider, or something that isnt cheaply made. Was simply making an office type space in a bedroom, to seperate the two areas for work, and folding it kept making the poles come off those twisted screws. just not worth it.

Absolutely love this room divider!
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
When they say you can't see anything through it, they are correct. As you can see by the video, the cars are traveling by with the sunlight on the divider and you still can't see any cars passing nor can you see the ones in the parking lot. You can also tell it blocks out the sunlight too which is a definite plus for our store. Quality material on the divider. Material is nice and snug on the poles with no ripples. I also like the base of these, they make the divider nice and sturdy and can be adjusted if floor is uneven. Also the design of the legs allow them to go under your furniture. Also putting them together is pretty easy. Just make sure you when you are putting the poles together to make sure at the top of the pole that the indent screw hole faces out. This makes for a better look. The directions don't say which way to turn and at 1st, I had one, one way and the other was another way as both ways work that way but I wanted a uniform/better look.

Works well, need power tool to assemble
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Sturdy enough, especially when feet are positioned for balance. Works perfectly to create a WFH “cubicle”. Can adjust the size to provide complete privacy or fold back a panel when I want more openness. The fabric panels are not perfectly taught, but pretty close. The only negative is that without my husband’s power drill/screwdriver we wouldn’t have been able to put it together. It would take the strength of Thor to do it with just a manual screwdriver.

Now I don't have to see the "black hole" that used to be my family room!
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
I have an adult child living at home and his bedroom is tiny, so he's pretty much taken over the family room. We are both much happier now that the divider is up. It is about 12 feet long and gives him privacy to watch his movies and play his video games. And I don't have to see all the shoot-em-up stuff he likes to watch. I put the divider together with just a screwdriver (not a power one, that would be nice but I don't have so I had to use a little elbow grease.) It took a couple hours. The instructions are straightforward. I did have to use my long dining room table to attach the feet to the divider panels, which was a bit tricky. But I'm really pleased with the end result. I'm NOT a handywoman, so I feel proud that I did it "all by myself." He wanted the black fabric, but I think the lighter colors would have been better for a room that gets hot in the summer. Just my opinion. Whatever color you choose, I think you'll like the end result.

Busted spring on one side....
Color: Black, Size: 28-70"W x 48-120"H (Pack of 1), Color: Black, Size: 28-70"W x 48-120"H (Pack of 1)
I would have given it five stars except for the fact that 1) the instructions that come with it are miserable so you will definitely want to refer to the photos they have in the advertisement here, and 2) it appears that one of the vertical poles has a busted spring and I literally had to stuff some socks underneath it to make it hold. Definitely an eyesore, so I'm not thrilled about that. With that being said, I'm in an apartment and I don't want to drill in the walls to hang a curtain rod. My sliding glass doors have a track that I was able to get brackets that fit over the track to hold a pole, but I had one window that I could not do that with. I thought this would be an interesting way to hang curtains without doing damage. I considered those sticky tape curtain rod holders, but I was reading a lot of bad reviews about them not holding or them taking the paint off upon removal. I figured this was the better option and it gave the room some nice aesthetics because my furniture is farmhouse white wood with black iron accents, so this blended really well with the aesthetics of the room. I know that most people who did reviews used this product as its advertised to be a room divider for privacy... So I figured this is a nice way to review using this product in a different way. I just really can't stand window blinds, as they look so commercial and industrial to me... I needed a way to make the space seem more homey. While this is working fine for me, the reality is I have white lace curtains, which don't weigh much. I don't know that I could recommend this product, even though it says it can support a bit of weight, with curtains that are too heavy. Some of that, in part, is due to the fact that one of my springs is broken so it's not very stable as it is. However, even if I was not having the issue with the spring being busted on one side, I still don't think this would be good with heavy curtains (especially if you like opening your curtains frequently). It did come with curtain hooks if you have the kind of curtains that allow you to use hooks to hang them. I do not. My curtains just slide onto the pole. If they were the type that could be put up with hooks then opening and closing them would probably be easier and maybe not as big of a deal as it is for me with the type of curtains I have. I cannot comment on longevity as I just installed it today... If anything changes I will try to remember to come back and modify this review.
