Questions about the Kentia Palm 2m Extra Large Mid-Century

This houseplant is non-toxic to humans and pets. You can therefore place it in your home without fear for your children, dogs or cats.

Absolutely, but it's essential to understand and tame it.

The Kentia Palm is a less forgiving plant than others, requiring a bit of attention, so it's important to get to know its needs. Be careful not to over-water or neglect it, as this could lead to its leaves drying out. Fortunately, even if you make a few mistakes, don't worry: after a period of stabilization, and a new period of growth and the appearance of new palms, your Kentia Palm will regain its splendor. It's a resilient plant that, with a little care and attention, will continue to thrive in your space.

The Kentia Palm, with its exotic allure and robustness, is generally resistant to disease and pests.

However, like all plants, it is not immune to certain threats. Particular attention needs to be paid to humidity and watering, as excess humidity can encourage the development of fungal diseases, and overly dry air can attract pests such as mealybugs and red spiders. Regular maintenance, including leaf cleaning and careful monitoring, will help preserve the health and beauty of your Kentia Palm, keeping it away from unwanted visitors. In the event of invasion, rapid intervention with the right treatment is key. Remove pests with Super Neem Oil solution and a soft cloth, and spray the foliage more regularly to increase atmospheric humidity.

In addition, this palm tree can also be affected by fungi, particularly if over-watering leads to root rot and dry stems and leaves. To treat this problem, it's essential to reduce humidity around the plant, ensure good air circulation, remove any stagnant water at the bottom of the pot and remove affected parts. A root check-up is also advisable. The use of a plant repair treatment may also be necessary. It's always best to prevent these problems by maintaining a regular watering regime.

The Kentia Palm is a model of lighting flexibility. Ideally, it prefers to bathe in bright indirect light, but its nature allows it to adapt to shady spaces. This makes it perfect for various areas of your home or office, whether a quiet corner or a space bathed in subdued natural light.

Although less well known for its floral qualities, Howea forsteriana, more commonly known as Kentia Palm, has the potential to produce flowers and fruit in its natural habitat. However, indoors, where it is often appreciated for its lush, airy foliage, flowering and fruiting are rare events. If you're lucky enough to witness this event, expect discreet flowers followed by small fruits. But don't forget, the real spectacle of the Kentia Palm lies in its elegant leaves and majestic habit.

The Kentia Palm, also known as Howea forsteriana, can reach a height of 18 meters in the wild. Indoors, it will generally not exceed 2.50 meters. Still, it's a real indoor tree. With its moderate growth, this palm is perfect for creating a tropical canopy atmosphere in spacious rooms.
