Plant under another plant when using outdoors. Ideal pot plants, the classic parlor palm. Slender, straight trunk with light thatch.
Fronds are light and lacy, giving a delicate appearance, and bend down gracefully.
These palms last for many years and are very durable, although like most palms, cannot tolerate severe dryness or continual over-watering. Remove leaves as they discolor. If due to incorrect watering, the tips of the leaves may become brown. If this happens, trim to the shape of the leaf. The kentia palm can be viewed in the Farmer atrium, in two pots near the fountain.
