The Kentia Palm is a naturally elegant upright palm with beautiful, arching, dark green leaves. Regarded by many as one of the most attractive of all palm trees, the Kentia Palm is a native of Lord Howe Island. It can be grown as a container plant indoors as it will tolerate low light levels but will grow well in a bright indirect-morning-sunshine location. In the garden, it is naturally lower-growing, especially in a more open position where it does not need to reach for the light.

Soil: Humus-rich soil with good drainage
Conditions: Indirect sunlight/ understory position. Coastal, wind and salt tolerant.
Size: It can grow to 15m tall, but in a garden situation it is usually smaller, to around 5m.
