Howea forsteriana

Howea forsteriana, also known as the Kentia Palm or Sentry Palm, is an elegant and popular palm species native to Lord Howe Island in Australia. This palm is characterized by its graceful, arching fronds with dark green, feather-like leaflets.

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings in subtropical and temperate climates, Howea forsteriana thrives in well-draining soil and prefers indirect light or filtered sunlight. It is widely cultivated as an indoor plant due to its adaptability to low light conditions and its ability to purify indoor air.

Slow-growing but long-lived, it can reach heights of up to 10 meters in its natural habitat, although it grows much more slowly indoors. Howea forsteriana is valued for its attractive appearance and ease of care, making it a popular choice for adding a touch of tropical elegance to interiors or landscapes.
