The Kentia Palm is a graceful and elegant indoor plant, perfect for adding a touch of tropical flair to any space. With its slender, arching fronds and tall, slender stems, this palm is a true showstopper. It's also incredibly low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for busy households and office spaces.
The Kentia Palm is native to Lord Howe Island in the South Pacific and is well-suited to the UK's cooler climate. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of natural beauty to their home or workspace.
They are expensive because, like most palms, they are slow-growing: it takes six to seven years to get a beautiful showpiece plant like ours. In fact, if you have ever ventured through the world-famous palm house at Kew Gardens, you would have seen the space you can create with several varieties of palms.
Our tip for the Large Kentia Palm is to go big! They look wonderful when established and are well worth the extra cost. Like most houseplants, it will thrive if you treat it a little bit mean. Water sparingly and give it some space to grow, and you will be rewarded with a wonderful specimen plant.
We sell a variety of Palms, including Kentia and Areca, and source the best value for money. Our plants come in various sizes to suit any room.
Where should I put this plant?
The Large Kentia Palm likes lots of light but not direct sun, it loves humidity although it will tolerate cooler temperatures than some houseplants.
How much water does it need?
This plant should be kept a little moist; water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, less in winter.
Is this plant suitable if I have pets?
The Large Kentia Palm is usually suitable if you have pets, but we can’t guarantee that it will be fine for every pet.
Does this plant need feeding?
Yes, feed with a liquid feed once during the summer months. Try our vegan, organic plant food!
Suppose you have been searching for alternatives to blood, bone and other so-called “organic” fertilisers. In that case, our original organic Vegan Plant food is for you and is sold exclusively through our website.
Indoor Plants need a balance of nutrients to survive and grow; deficiencies stop plants from growing big and strong. Nutrients absorbed through the soil help the plant Photosynthesis, the process by which plants use water, light and carbon to create oxygen and energy.

We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
