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.

    Great product! I do not understand why anyone would make or buy any cord without a 90 degree plug-in for their RV.
    Size: 25-Foot, Style: 90° Locking End
    We had to replace the plug on our RV: The plug was destroyed by the stiff 50 amp cord that; came with our RV that put a lot of pressure on the plug-in on our RV causing it to arc and melt both the male and female where the cord was plugged into the RV. . The heavy duty 90: degree end has a soft flexible cable and greatly reduces the stress on the RV plug. I expect this cord will last much longer. Would recommend this cord to anyone. I do not understand why anyone would make or buy any cord without a 90 degree plug-in for their RV. Dealers may not have this item in stock.

    Good compromise
    Size: 25-Foot, Style: 90° Locking End
    I decided to go with this much cheaper version of the same yet higher quality cord from camping world. I really like the 90 degree connectors as these cords are heavy and I did not like the added stress on the RV power connector of the straight connectors. Also did not like the way the straight connector sticks out on camping would’s version so if I accidentally bumped into the cord it could easily be broken. The clamp ring on this one has large lugs making it much easier to tighten onto the RV threads. I really struggled with the ones that don’t have the large lugs. The easy to grip handles are also nice to have when removing from power. My one complaint, the cable jacketing is of lesser quality. You can literally feel the individual conductors inside the jacketing when handling. This makes me feel like this cord will not have the sturdiness to last over time and an insulation failure could be a dangerous situation. If I could get the connectors of this cord with the cable quality of the camping world version, I would pay for the quality.

    Great generator cord
    Size: 25-Foot, Style: 90° Locking End
    I’ve had this cord for 5 years for use with my emergency generator, it doesn’t get used often, but when I’ve needed it it’s been flawless.

    Nice item. Modifying to two male ends, to make use of a built-in surge protector.
