The Kentia Palm is a wonderful specimen palm, growing best in bright, indirect light. Water when the potting mix is dry an inch below the surface. From Lord Howe Island, a fairly slow growing species that is often planted in groups of three or more plants together in full sun and moderate water once established.  It is an ideal palm for growing inside the house and does very well in coastal areas where there is no frost.
