Featured Questions
Why are the tips of my Kentia Palm's leaves turning brown?
Brown leaf tips can result from underwatering, low humidity, or salt build-up in the soil. Increase humidity around the plant, check your watering routine, and occasionally flush the soil with fresh water to remove excess salts.
How fast does the Kentia Palm grow?
Kentia Palms are slow growers, adding only a few fronds per year. Growth may accelerate slightly with optimal light, watering, and care.
Why does my Kentia Palm have little fibers underneath the leaves?
The small fibers underneath the fronds of your Kentia Palm are natural and part of the plant's structure. These fibers help support the leaves as they grow. They are not a sign of pests or disease, and there’s no need for concern.
