Description
Howea, better known as Kentia or vulgarly called Kenzia, is one of the most popular house plants since the 1960s.
Much appreciated for its elegance, it is a palm that lives and bears fruit in tropical and equatorial zones.
In a flat or office it prefers bright areas as opposed to its original habitat.
It requires a humid climate so the foliage should be misted.
