Kentia Palm - Care and Info

Kentia Palm Care

Temperature: Room temperatures of around 65°f / 16°c — 75°f / 24°c are ideal. The temperature should not become lower than 55°f / 12.7°c.

Light: Indirect sun light for many of the popular indoor palms is advisable and the Kentia particularly grows well and maintains it’s health in low light conditions.

Watering: Having good drainage from the pot is important to prevent root rot. Checking the top soil for moisture (by touch) is the best way to see if they need water. If the top soil is dry in the summer–give him a drink, and in the winter I would advise you to water it less, and allow some dryness.

Soil: A fast draining soil mix is best to use which is likely to be part sand for easier drainage.

Re-Potting: Palms generally dislike being removed from a pot. The best practice is to re-pot only, when it has become pot bound and take good care of the roots whilst doing so.

Humidity: They do survive well in quite humid conditions naturally, and you will please them with water misting.

Propagation: These are Propagated by seed at 80°f / 26.6°c which is not appropriate for the average grower to propagate.
