Care & Growth:

Watering:

Your Kentia Palm enjoys weekly waterings. Allow her soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the winter – when you might only need to water your plant fortnightly.

Feeding:

The Kentia Palm is a slow grower and will take many years to reach the majestic heights it’s known for. Fertilize your Kentia Palm 1-2 times per month in the spring and summer with indoor plant food, and consider foliar feeding year round.
