This Kentia Palm looks even better than the product photos! When I bought it, I only knew the pot was large, but I didn’t expect the plant itself to be over two meters tall. It’s absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for. The lines are so elegant, and the color is a vibrant green. Truly an unexpected surprise!
