Giant Kentia Palm Holland (Howea forsteriana)

Plant Bio

Kentia palm (Howea forsteriana) is a popular choice among interior decorators because it is well suited for container growing. This elegant palm does very well indoors since it is extremely durable and slow-growing. The Kentia palm is native to Lord Howe Island (off the eastern Australian coast) where it can reach an impressive height of 60 feet. For indoor containerized growing, heights can fall anywhere between 5 to 12 feet. Kentias have upright slender trunks and long arching, feathered, dark green leaves (also known as fronds).

They adapt to a wide range of soil, from clay to loam and acidic to alkaline. Plant container-grown Kentia in a well-draining potting mix, preferably on the sandy side. Once established, Kentia palm plants are fairly drought tolerant, although they do not like to be overly dry, or for that matter overly wet. Water only when the top inch or so (2.5 cm.) of the soil starts to dry out. Mist indoor Kentia palm occasionally to provide some humidity and to remove any dust build-up.

Once Kentia palm plants have established, they require very little care. Feed your container-grown plants with a controlled release fertilizer with an NPK ratio of about 3-1-2. Excessive fertilization may cause the tips of lower leaves to turn brown and die.

Crassula Magical Tree (Crassula Ovata)

Plant Bio

Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade plant, friendship tree, lucky plant, or money tree, is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers. It is native to South Africa and Mozambique, and is common as a houseplant worldwide.

This South African succulent doesn’t need much attention at all. Just put it in a bright location. Wait till the top of the soil is dry before watering because succulent plants store water. It branches naturally, so it doesn’t need pruning.

Put your plant in a heavy container to help balance its weight — it can get top-heavy. Also, be sure to use a container with a drainage hole to keep the soil from getting soggy. Place the Crassula in direct light (Indoor lighting will also do), with some direct sun. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Dropped leaves or brown spots on leaves are signs that the plant needs more water. Average room temperatures should be between 15-24°C. Crassula can tolerate average room humidity and dry air.

Philodendron Pedatum Tall (Philodendron)

Plant Bio

In different stages of their development, the leaves of the philodendron Pedatum can take up a variety of shapes, but generally follow the oak-leaf structure, hence the other name for the plant — Oak Leaf Philodendron.

It’s considered a beginner-friendly plant, so whether you’re looking to add another philodendron variety to your collection, or just starting with indoor gardening, this plant will be easy to grow.

The pedatum can grow in a range of light conditions but seems to be favoring bright indirect light or dappled light the most. It can grow in low light conditions too, but it’s growth will be slower. It doesn’t tolerate direct sunlight because of its delicate leaves that can easily scorch under strong sunlight. Should the leaves of your pedatum start to turn yellow or brown, assess the level and intensity of light it receives and move it out of direct light.

Watering seems to be one of the most problematic aspects in caring for the philodendron pedatum. It simply doesn’t tolerate overwatering, so you always need to check the soil to see how moist or dry it is before adding more water. To avoid overwatering but also to make sure my plant doesn’t get dehydrated, I use the soak and dry method. That is, I water my philodendron deeply, then allow the top level of the soil to dry, and only then do I water it again. Some prefer adding only little water but more frequently, which can also work, however, with that method you’re also likely to overwater if the soil doesn’t drain well or if it doesn’t dry until the next watering. Therefore, regardless of the watering method you decide to use, check the soil for moisture.
