  • Big Ken & Black Straight edged 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 a Straight edged pot in Black. Made by Elho from 100% recycled plastic, this lightweight design has a simple, minimalist look that will pair well with any interior.
