Kentia Palm
The "Kentia palm", " Howeia Forsteriana " or "Kentia forsteriana", originates from Lord Howea Island in Australia and is one of the best know indoor plants around the world. It can be seen indoors in northern latitudes from Cork to Chicago and outdoors from Mexico city to Melbourne.
It's occasionally called the "Sentry Palm" because of the entryways it frames and protects.
The Kentia is an elegant, beautiful and has all the characteristics you could have of an indoor plant- shade-tolerant, cold-tolerant and doesn't become too large in size.
Under the right conditions, a Kentia palm will, over time, develop into a grand specimen plant, up to 10 feet tall!
