Howea forsteriana (170cm)

Howea forsteriana, commonly known as the Kentia Palm, is one of the most elegant and easy-going indoor plants you can bring into your home. With its tall, arching fronds and rich green colour, this 170cm specimen makes a real statement — perfect for adding height, softness and a relaxed, design-led feel to your space.

A true classic, the Kentia Palm suits both contemporary and period interiors and is particularly well suited to lower light conditions compared to many other indoor palms.

Care & positioning
Place in bright, indirect light, though it will happily tolerate slightly shadier spots. Water only when the top inch of soil has dried out, as overwatering is the most common issue. Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Light misting will help maintain healthy foliage, especially in centrally heated homes. Feed during the growing season (spring and summer).

Why we love it
– Elegant, architectural shape
– One of the most shade-tolerant palms
– Perfect for adding height to a room
