Kentia Palm

Care Instructions

• Water : The kentia palm prefers to be well-hydrated, but never soggy. Water your kentia palm weekly in the spring and summer, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During the fall and winter months, you can likely slow your watering cadence down a bit, but look to your plant as an indication.
• Temperature : Kentia palms are considered to be moderately tolerant of salt spray and can tolerate cold down to -3°C.
• Light : Kentia palms prefer indirect sunlight. Do not expose the plant to direct sun unless it is acclimated as a seedling to direct sun otherwise, it will likely scorch.
• Fertilizing : Once Kentia palm plants have established, they require very little care. Feed your container grown plants with a controlled release fertilizer with an NPK ratio of about 3-1-2. Excessive fertilization may cause the tips of lower leaves to turn brown and die.
• The Kentia Palm is a perfect indoor palm. Elegant, air-purifying and resilient, it can tolerate some neglect, cooler temperatures and dry air conditions making it a low maintenance and trouble-free palm to provide lush, leafy, tropical foliage and an exotic element to any home or office interior.
