Name Check:
This classic indoor palm known as the Kentia is native to Australia, also known as the Howea Forsteriana.
Difficulty Rating;
Easy as, don't be afraid to cut off the brown leaves, it's like chopping off a split end doesn't mean the plant is dying.
The Deets:
Our houseplant friends never forget their roots, and they’ll always be the most content when their surroundings mimic their natural environment. A lover of light and a favourite at Grace & Thorn, palms are the DeLorean time machine of the plant world, transporting us back to colonial eras and glamorous hotels.
The kentia palm is especially reminiscent of times gone by, and is the perfect stand-alone plant for that empty corner you just keep meaning to fill. He’s not the most forgiving of plants, and you might have to pay him a visit with the scissors every now and then to snip off some brown leaves but more often than not they’ll grow back quickly. He’s a good guy to have around as a natural air purifier, so try and find him a home in a room you like to spend a lot of time in.
