Kentia Palm (Howea Forsteriana) 300mm MHP

Botanical name: Howea forsteriana Common name: Kentia Palm Kentia palms (Howea forsteriana) are popular the world around due to their hardiness and adaptability. Their dark green, elegant foliage, and graceful, arching fronds made it perfect for interiors. They live happily in pots for many, many years, and are great for providing a canopy in shady gardens. Indoors, it is the best pick of palms to cope with low light positions, though will do best if spelled outside in the shade to recover. Lord Howe Island�s greatest export to the world is the Kentia Palm, which is called thatch palm there as it is used for thatching. Care instructions: Light: Inside a bright, well-lit position is best. Outdoors they will grow well in the shade. Watering: make sure you let it drain freely, and never have water sitting in the saucer. It likes to be reasonably moist over the warm months, but as the weather cools, ease off the water and let it dry out slightly between drinks. Feeding: use liquid fertiliser every few weeks, as per instructions on the pack.
