The Howea forsteriana commonly called the kentia palm is an Australian native plant growing naturally on the Lord Howe Island, but her beauty has taken her around the world. While Kentias look similar to the popular golden cane palms, the stems of younger plants are beautiful lime green and the fonds are more drooping in stature. This lush green beauty will brighten up the dullest room and her height makes her an ideal corner accent plant. A beautiful palm can completely change the look and feel of a room to a more elegant, inviting, and stylish look. Unlike most palms, the kentia palm is suitable for lower light conditions. The kentia palm is also suitable for various soil types, is generally resistant to pests and can even be trained to grow in full sun. Better yet, this is a beginner friendly plant that is easy to care for. This versatile beauty is the perfect plant for every home and office. So order a kentia palm today to grace your space for many years to come!

Top Notch Service

It was a very nice surprise when my three very healthy Buxus plants were waiting for me early this morning. I love the range, quality and service of The Australian Plant shop and am most definitely a loyal customer as other providers don't even come close.

What a gorgeous tree!

My Fiddly Fig has finally decided to have it's last tantrum - nothing made it happy and all the research and care I put into it came to nothing. Of all my plants, it is the most demanding. I ordered the Banyan Tree and it's tall! The bark is a beautiful silver and the leaves are strong - it is such a healthy, majestic plant. Hopefully the fiddly fig ups its game now there's a contender for my affections in the house (but knowing the fiddly fig, it'll probably drop another leaf in protest). Thank you for such a healthy, beautiful plant, sorry, tree! :)

Happy Plant, Happy Customer

First time buyer and I was very pleased with the service and delivery. Miya was very informative and enthusiastic in letting me know how to care and manage the plant.

As it was an expensive plant I was worried they might have chosen a smaller size but that was not the case. It was big, beautiful and left a delightful impression. Love at first sight even.

I will definitely buy again!

I am so happy with my plants that I received. Miya went over and beyond to source these plants that I was after as they are quite rare to find. The communication was outstanding.
