Description

Howea forsteriana, commonly known as the Kentia Palm, is a graceful and elegant palm tree native to Lord Howe Island in Australia. It is admired for its dark green arching fronds and its ability to thrive indoors, even in low light conditions. Growing up to 3–5 meters tall with a spread of 1–2.5 meters, this palm is slow-growing and long-lived, making it perfect for homes, patios, or tropical gardens in Cyprus. It rarely flowers indoors but can occasionally produce small white to cream blossoms. This resilient palm adds a tropical flair with minimal maintenance and is safe for both humans and pets.
