Howea
( HOW - ee - uh )
At-A-Glance InformationThis genus of palms needs partial shade (or bright indirect light if grown indoors) and regular water to perform well. These trees are commonly called Kentia Palms, and are slow-growing. They are native to Australia's Lord Howe Island (hence the botanical name, Howea), and are commonly grown as houseplants. Outdoors, they are picturesque feather palms with a clean, green trunk ringed with leaf scars. They can also be grown in pots outdoors, if desired.
