The Kentia palm (Howea Forsteriana) has long, feathery fronds arranged in a fan-like structure and a straight, sturdy trunk. The leaves are soft and flexible, with a calm green tone that gives the plant a understated tropical character. It is available in five sizes, ranging from 150 to 260 cm in height, with corresponding pot sizes from Ø21 to Ø38 cm.
The Kentia palm suits a wide range of commercial interiors: office receptions, hotel lobbies, retail spaces and care facilities. Its upright growth habit and stately silhouette make it effective as a standalone specimen or as a calming green element within a larger scheme. The range of heights accommodates everything from low-ceilinged rooms to spaces with generous vertical clearance.
The plant performs best in bright, indirect light and has moderate water requirements. Allow the top layer of compost to dry out between waterings and ensure the plant does not stand in water. When selecting a size, consider the available floor space and the height of the surrounding furniture. Plants are shipped in a sturdy box designed for indoor plants, with a protective sleeve to keep them secure; delivery takes five working days.
Can this palm be used both indoors and outdoors? The Kentia palm can be placed indoors and outdoors, but it performs best in bright, indirect light. Direct harsh sunlight can cause leaf burn, so a sheltered outdoor position or a well-lit interior space is most suitable.
How much maintenance does a Kentia palm require in a commercial setting? Maintenance is straightforward: allow the top layer of compost to dry out between waterings and ensure the plant does not sit in standing water. During the growing season, regular watering is important. No other special care requirements are indicated.
How do I select the right size for a space? The palm is available in heights from 150 to 260 cm, with pot sizes from Ø21 to Ø38 cm. Choose a height that is proportionate to the ceiling height and the surrounding furniture. The size overview on the product page provides a practical reference point.
Can I order multiple specimens for a project? Yes, orders can be placed per unit or in larger quantities. For a project you can combine multiple plants of the same or different heights. The order is dispatched as a whole, so everything arrives together.
How is the plant packed and what is the lead time? Each plant is packed in a sturdy box specially designed for indoor plants, with a protective sleeve around the plant and compost. Delivery takes five working days.
