Also known as the thatch palm, they are the pinnacle of all palms - glossy green leaves that work in any space.
Hailing from Lord Howe Island near Australia, these palms are still propagated from seeds on the island itself, and the seedlings are exported around the world, supporting the only nursery on the island and the small local economy.
The palms are very slow growing, tolerant of most light conditions and needs watering just every so often.
Best space & place
Medium to bright but indirect light. Full sun will scorch the leaves. Keep indoors all year.
When to water & feed
Once a week should be ample. A good mist between waterings is a good way to keep the Howea happy. Water sparingly in winter.
Need to know
Slow growing, so buy the size you are after as it could take years to achieve much growth.
