  • Big Ken & Black Clay pot likes...

    • Humidity

      He prefers moist air to keep his fronds fresh, so avoid placing him underneath an air conditioning vent or heating unit. 

    • Medium light

      He'll be happiest in any room that gets a lot of light. Harsh sun is a bit much for him, so ideally not right next to a window.

    • Light watering

      Check him about once a week and water him if the top two inches of soil feel dry.

  • With tall, arching fronds, Big Ken the Kentia palm brings instant impact to any workspace. He’s a great option for adding greenery and flow to lacklustre corners, or bringing life to an empty-looking office.

    As his easy-breezy nature suggests, he’s very simple to take care of. He enjoys lots of natural light, but not harsh direct sun – think a bright spot, away from the window. The brighter the light, the more often he's likely to need a drink, so keep an eye on how dry his soil is by dipping your finger in to the second knuckle – if it comes out dry, you'll know it's time for a tipple. 

    Second to H2O, Big Ken loves a glug of liquid plant food. Add some to your watering can once or twice a month between April and October when he's in full growth mode, and you'll be rewarded with new and larger leaves. 

    This bundle includes our classic Clay pot in Black. It’s our bestselling pot, loved for its curved shape, tactile finish and rubber feet to protect your surfaces. Please note, due to the porous nature of the Clay pot material, excess water may escape. To protect your surfaces, we recommend adding an internal saucer for worry-free watering.
