Kentia Palm

Howea forsteriana

4.8(93 reviews)

The Kentia Palm is considered the most elegant of all indoor palms. Its long, arching dark-green fronds create a sophisticated tropical atmosphere in any room. Unlike many palms, it tolerates lower light levels and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for hallways, offices, and living rooms. It is slow-growing but virtually indestructible once established.
