Howea forsteriana

aka Kentia Palm

Endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia

Light - prefers indirect light or partial shade, too much sun near a window will

bleach or scorch the fronds

Water - only when the top few inches of soil has dried out. Water from the top allowing excess water to drain away. Never allow the pot to sit in water.

Humidity - maintain high humidity to prevent browning of the frond tips

Feed - apply diluted liquid fertiliser monthly from spring to autumn

-Yellowing fronds may indicate overwatering

-Brown crispy fronds and brown usually indicate under watering or insuficient humidity

Repot only when root bound as palms dislike root disturbance, in free draining potting mix

Clean any accumlated dust off fronds regularly using a damp cloth
