Light & Location
Kentia Palms can survive in almost all light conditions, but bright, indirect light with little to no direct sunlight is best. Despite the idea of Kentia Palms thriving in dark locations, avoid placing it in a spot completely devoid of natural light. We all need a little bit of sunshine in our lives. Use one of our soil and light testers to understand how bright your space is.
Too much direct sun can scorch the delicate fronds, while too little can slow growth and cause the plant to become leggy or pale. A north- or east-facing room with filtered light is often ideal. If you’re placing it in a room with limited natural light, try rotating the plant every few weeks to encourage even growth. You could also supplement with a grow light during darker months. Monitoring both soil moisture and light levels is the key to keeping your Kentia looking its best year-round.
Watering
llow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waters. It’s recommended not to use the bottom-up method of submersion with the Kentia, due to the risk of root rot. These palms prefer consistent but moderate watering, so it’s important not to let the soil become soggy. If you’re worried about over-watering, you can use one of our soil moisture meters. If you do, make sure you water when levels are just below moist. These handy tools take the guesswork out of plant care and can help prevent common watering mistakes.
Make sure your pot has proper drainage holes to allow excess water to escape easily. Drainage is essential for preventing water from collecting at the bottom of the pot, which can lead to root damage. Grab yourself a watering can with a narrow spout to water with precision and keep your Kentia Palm happy, healthy, and thriving all year round.
Humidity
Provide a humid environment, away from radiators. Treat your Kentia Palm to a light shower with a water mister a few times a week and it will definitely thank you for it. Also, consider dusting your leaves every other month to maximise light absorption and keep it in optimum health. Regular misting not only boosts humidity but also helps keep the foliage clean and vibrant. You can also place your plant on a humidity tray or group it with other plants to naturally increase moisture in the air, especially during dry winter months when indoor air tends to be harsh.
