With its long, arching fronds, it brings a tropical atmosphere to interiors while tolerating less than ideal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💧 \u003cb\u003eWatering\u003c\/b\u003e Water when the top third of the soil in the pot is dry. Kentia palm does not tolerate overwatering – the roots are sensitive to rot. It tolerates short-term drought better than overwatering. Use lukewarm, standing water; chlorinated and cold water can shock the roots. Excess water must always drain freely from the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e☀️ \u003cb\u003eLight\u003c\/b\u003e It thrives best in \u003cb\u003ebright, indirect light\u003c\/b\u003e, but can also tolerate medium indirect light or partial shade – making it an ideal choice even for darker corners of the interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid direct midday sun, which could scorch the leaves and cause them to yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeally, place it by a north, east, or west-facing window, or further away from a south-facing window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌡️ \u003cb\u003eTemperature and air\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIdeal temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 16–24 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCold:\u003c\/b\u003e Does not tolerate temperatures below 10 °C and drafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/b\u003e Prefers higher air humidity (above 50%), but also adapts to normal room humidity.

Repot only when the roots fill the entire pot (approximately every 2–3 years), and always in spring. Kentia palm grows slowly and does not tolerate repotting well – avoid disturbing it unnecessarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⚠️ \u003cb\u003eWarning\u003c\/b\u003e Howea forsteriana is \u003cb\u003enon-toxic\u003c\/b\u003e to pets and children – it is one of the few safe indoor palms for households with animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jungle Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53503244599639,"sku":"PLT-HOW-170-001","price":5600.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9555\/1063\/files\/Howeaforsteriana27O170cm10pp.jpg?v=1778312285","url":"https:\/\/jungleflowers.cz\/en\/products\/howea-forsteriana-170cm","provider":"Jungle Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
