@bangsluke 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 soil starts to dry out. Mist indoor Kentia palm occasionally to provide some humidity and to remove any dust build-up. If the air is too dry and the palm isn't getting adequate humidity, the foliage and tips can start browning. Browning foliage can also be the result of the palm not getting adequate water. In addition, too much fertilizer can also cause browning fronds and tips, as well as too much salt in the soil.
@KikisOasis I add plant food to my water and water 2 times weekly, should I be adding that?
@bangsluke depends on what your using. I use a plant food just for palms. Itβs by Miracle Gro called Shake and Feed for Palms. I also use worm castings that really good for your plant.
