Kentia Palm

Overview
Kentia Palm is a go-to interior palm because it looks refined and adapts well to typical indoor environments. It’s a strong choice for clients who want a timeless look.

Appearance
Slender trunks with arching, feather-like fronds. The overall shape is airy and elegant rather than dense or bushy.

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but is well known for tolerating medium to lower light better than many palms.

Water
Water when the top of the soil begins to dry. Avoid frequent heavy watering.

Care Notes
Kentia palms do best with consistency—stable placement, moderate watering, and occasional cleanup of older fronds.

Best Uses

  • Reception areas and waiting rooms

  • Corners that need height without a heavy silhouette

  • Classic “interior palm” look for offices and homes

Pet Note
Generally considered a safer choice around pets, but it’s still best to discourage chewing.
