Kentia palm (Howea forsteriana) is an elegant plant that can create a tropical atmosphere in any home. A native to Lord Howe Island near Australia, this plant has thin trunks with long green leaves or fronds. It is a durable, slow-growing plant, which is also suitable for indoor container growing. It can grow to 12 feet in height.

Place the plant in a room or area that receives bright indirect light. If spotting appears on the top fronds of the plant, this is an indication that it is getting too much bright light.

Water the Kentia palm only when the top one to two inches of soil begin to dry out.

Overwatering may cause the roots to rot.

Check the plant leaves for signs of either overwatering or under watering. If leaf fronds start to yellow and then turn brown, you are overwatering the plant. However, leaf tips that droop and turn brown are signs of under watering.
