Kentia palms thrive in bright, indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged—always check the top of the soil before watering, and reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

This palm enjoys humidity, so mist the leaves regularly, especially in warm rooms or during hot weather. Avoid placing it near radiators or draughts, which can cause leaf browning.

Dust the leaves occasionally to keep them looking their best and to help with photosynthesis. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season.

Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound, as kentia palms dislike being disturbed.
