PATCH Charcoal Big Ken Kentia Palm Plant Extra Large in Charcoal Clay Pot

Botanical name: Howea forsteriana Nickname: Kentia palm; Thatch palm; Paradise palm plant Total height including pot: 170–180 cm Native to the east coast of Australia, but just as happy in our homes, the Kentia palm brings instant impact and island vibes to any room. There s no need to worry though, despite it s impressive height and large, arching palm fronds, they re relatively slow growing, so won t hog all of the light in your living room.On the subject of light, Big Ken – as we like to call him – enjoys lots of bright light, but not harsh direct sun. And the brighter the light, the more often he s likely to need a drink. Keep an eye on how dry his soil is by dipping your finger in to the second knuckle, and if it comes out dry, you'll know it s time for a tipple. Second to H2O, Big Ken loves a glug of liquid plant food. Add some to your watering can once or twice a month between April and October when he s in full growth mode, and you'll be rewarded with new and larger leaves. The bigger it grows, the more space it'll need, so repot your Kentia palm into fresh free-draining jungle potting compost every two to three years. Did you know? Queen Victoria herself was such a big fan of the Kentia palm that she insisted they be placed around her coffin when she died. 100% Ceramic. Free delivery on all flowers and plants.
