Kentia Palm
The Kentia Palm, scientifically known as Howea forsteriana, is a popular indoor plant native to the Lord Howe Island in Australia. It is characterized by its elegant, arching fronds and slender trunk, making it a favorite choice for homes and offices. The plant can grow up to 10 feet tall, but it is often kept smaller in indoor settings.
Kentia Palms thrive in low light conditions and require minimal care, making them suitable for beginners. They prefer well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. This hardy plant can also tolerate occasional neglect, adding to its appeal.
