The Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) is a graceful and elegant plant, renowned for its long, arching fronds and slender, upright trunk. Originating from Lord Howe Island in Australia, this palm is prized for its adaptability and low maintenance, making it a favorite among both beginner and experienced gardeners. Its resilience and understated elegance make it a superb choice for enhancing both indoor and outdoor spaces.

How to Grow

Best suited for USDA zones 9-11, Kentia Palms thrive in partial to full shade with well-draining soil. Begin with a healthy, disease-free Kentia Palm, preferably in the range of one to three feet tall. Younger palms adapt more quickly and integrate more easily into new environments than older, transplanted ones. Plant in a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball, backfilling with a combination of native soil and compost, and water thoroughly.

Care Tips

Water your Kentia Palm moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. This palm prefers a humid environment, so in drier indoor conditions, misting the fronds or using a humidity tray can be beneficial. Fertilize the Kentia Palm with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during its growing season.

Uses

The Kentia Palm serves as an elegant ornamental plant for landscapes or indoor spaces, adding a touch of tropical sophistication. Ideal for creating a relaxed, natural atmosphere, its graceful fronds bring life and movement to any setting. It also works well as an indoor air purifier and is excellent for creating soft, natural partitions in larger rooms.

Planting Tips

Select a location that offers partial to full shade, accommodating the Kentia Palm's preference for indirect light. Ensure there's enough space for the palm to reach its mature height of 20-30 feet. While it is adaptable to various soil types, it thrives best in soil enriched with organic matter.

Kentia Palm Maintenance

Pruning requirements for the Kentia Palm are minimal, primarily to remove dead or dying fronds. Be cautious not to over-prune, as each frond is vital to the palm's health. Regularly monitor for signs of nutrient deficiency, such as yellowing leaves, and adjust your fertilization regimen as needed.

Pests and Diseases

While generally robust, Kentia Palms can sometimes be affected by pests like spider mites, especially when grown indoors. Routine checks and prompt treatment with suitable insecticides or miticides will keep these pests at bay. Diseases are rare but can include root rot due to overwatering or poor drainage. Ensuring proper watering habits and good soil drainage is essential for disease prevention.

Protected Our Skin and Smells Good
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff! My husband and I bought it as a last minute grab for our honeymoon and it was well worth it! I'm very sensitive to the sun AND to sunscreens, so I needed something with simple ingredients that would also protect my skin without breaking me out. This not only kept away the burning rash I get from the sun, but protected my husband and I from any sunburn at all. It worked not only in dry conditions, but it stayed on for hours after we swam in the ocean. We also liked the fact that it smelled herbal, almost like pizza/Italian seasoning. That didn't bother us because we both hate the smell of most sunscreens. If you have sensitive skin or are looking for a more natural product, I highly recommend this!

Great reef-safe, easy-to-apply sunscreen (comparison of three ThinkSport products)
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I will start by saying that I am used to traditional non-mineral sunscreens and tend to only buy physical/mineral-based sunscreens when I'm going to be in a tropical ocean and need something reef-safe, though more and more kids sunscreens are shifting to mineral-based. After quite a bit of research I settled on ThinkSport for my family's recent trip to Hawaii, and I'm very pleased with it. I brought and used three types of Thinksport sunscreen: Thinksport Kids lotion (yellow/orange and teal squeeze bottle), Thinksport adult lotion (Black, white, and orange squeeze bottle), and Thinksport adult spray (black, white and orange spray bottle). All protected us from sunburn and rubbed in to be invisible as long as skin was dry and free of visible hair (visible whiteness persisted around my husbands facial stubble and chest hair). The only difference between the kids lotion versus the adult lotion is scent--the kids version has a fruitier, more tropical but not-too-strong scent (possibly coconut and something else? it was hard to identify) that I found unobjectionable (though one if my kids wasn't a fan), and the adult lotion had a lighter, less sweet, more citrus-y scent (my son though maybe lime and mint, but I'm not sure that's accurate) that I LOVE. The adult spray had no discernible scent, so I suspect the kids spray might be fairly unscented as well. The easiest to apply by far was the spray--it sprays on white, but feels very light, rubs in easily, and becomes invisible quickly. I was a little worried about whether it could possibly be effective given how light and thin it felt, but it was! The lotions weren't thick for a lotion (but much thicker than the spray) and went on easily, but took more rubbing in to disappear than the spray (this is consistent with my experience with lotion vs spray in traditional sunscreens as well). Invisibility was harder to get after a second or third application or when skin was damp, but all-in-all I found all three Thinksport products to be superior to other mineral-based sunscreens I have tried in the past. In the future I'll probably buy the adult thinksport spray for my kids and husband (who all much prefer a spray-on sunscreen) and the adult thinksport lotion for myself (because I love the scent and don't mind rubbing it in).

Dependable sun protection for active days outdoors
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like how this sunscreen provides reliable broad-spectrum protection and holds up well during outdoor activities. The zinc oxide formula gives me peace of mind, and I appreciate that it's water resistant and reef-safe. It applies smoothly for a mineral sunscreen and stays on effectively during sports, swimming, and long days in the sun. Overall, it's a trustworthy option for anyone looking for strong sun protection.

Clean product
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I only gave it 4 stars because of the smell. Of course it’s sunscreen so it’s going to have a chemical smell but this smell is just too strong for me. Other then that, it’s a great sunscreen. Does take some more rubbing in and be carful to rub it in really good or you’ll have white streaks all over your face. Leaves a bit of a white cast. You don’t need much.

Great quality
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Thinksport SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc is a reliable, high‑protection option that feels lightweight and non‑greasy on the skin. It applies smoothly without leaving too much white cast for everyday use, and I love that it’s mineral‑based with zinc for strong UVA/UVB defense. Great for active days outdoors. Highly recommend for sensitive skin and safe sun coverage!
