Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana)
The Kentia palm, Howea forsteriana, has arching, feathery fronds on slender stems. It has been a favourite indoor palm since Victorian times because it tolerates shadier rooms.
You receive one plant in a Ø21 cm nursery pot, about 120–130 cm tall, a good floor-standing size for a living room or office corner.

- Light: medium to bright, indirect light; it tolerates lower light but grows more slowly.
