Hydroculture plants are measured the same way as soil plants, however the grow pots are sized by diameter plus their standardised heights, which allows a water meter to be fitted. Hydroculture plant roots have been specially adapted to grow in hydrogranules, which creates a smaller, more fleshy and hardier root system. This results in mature plants being available in smaller grow pots than their soil based equivalents.
Determine the plant's grow pot diameter. Compare this to the size of the opening of your chosen decorative pot and ensure it is big enough to insert the plant's grow pot through the opening see diagram below.
We show the size of the decorative pot openings for each pot as you click the different size options or hover over the size buttons. Tip: Pick a decorative pot that has an opening about 1cm larger than the size of the plant's grow pot.
For smaller plants up to 14cm grow pots you should go slightly smaller and for larger plants above 24cm you can add cm without the pot looking too large for the plant. Note: If the shape of the planter tapers strongly at the base, it might not be wide enough for your plant to sit squarely at the bottom. In this case you can add a liner on a small layer of pebbles to increase the size of the base. This will however raise the height of the plant slightly in the planter.
For hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit. Artstone planters include a non-removable water reservoir, which raises the internal base height of the planter. These planters work best with the plant re-potted directly into them rather than left in their grow pots. If the intention is to leave the plant in its grow pot and sit it directly into the Artstone planter rather than re-potting the plant directly into the planter, please ensure you select a large enough size that will have enough internal height to hide the grow pot.
Soil plants - The height of the grow pot can vary slightly, but is usually slightly smaller or the same as its diameter. Check your planter will be tall enough to hide the grow pot if you are not re-potting directly into the planter.
Hydroculture plants - These require a hydro kit for assembly, this includes a waterproof pot liner with a base wide enough to accommodate the hydroculture grow pot. The size tip provided for each hydroculture plant provides a recommended size for the external diameter of the decorative pots that will accommodate the specified waterproof liner.
The grow pot height is standardised normally 12cm or 19cm and shown on the size option for each hydroculture plant. Ensure the external height of your decorative pot is at least cm higher than the grow pot height of the hydroculture plant. Important: The opening measurement of the decorative pot is the size of the access hole for inserting the plant's grow pot as well as an indication of the minimum liner size needed.
It is not the same as the external diameter of the pot which is the overall outer size of the pot. Please note all measurements are approximate and can vary slightly due to the handmade nature of our pots. Note: Liners are "squashy" so they can be pushed through the opening to expand and fit closer to the pot wall once inside.
Liners can also be cut down to size with scissors for a neater fit if they bulge inwards slightly at the top. View Plant Pot Liners. For round shaped decorative pots we provide the external diameter of the widest point so you get a sense of how large the pot is on the outside, as well as the width of the opening.
We also provide the overall height so you understand how tall the pot is. Tiffany W. Sue Waltzer store manager — May 1, The photo you sent looks great!

Britni Thiesen verified owner — August 21, Sami Khader verified owner — August 20, The plant was beautiful but was damaged during the shipping.

But as for the plant it still needs to recover from its hard travel, its still very droopy and bent from places. Cindy R.

William Carlson verified owner — June 12, Austin verified owner — June 3, Anonymous verified owner — June 3, Nancy S. Kentia palm arrived promptly. Well packaged and beautiful.
Great instructions for unoackaging and care. Jerre verified owner — May 23, Anonymous verified owner — May 14, Hanane Boned verified owner — May 9, Anonymous verified owner — May 8, Anonymous verified owner — May 6, The plant was slightly damaged during shipping and many of the leaves were bent, and one of the branches was bent but not completely broken.
Pretty sure the box was turned upside down or at least sideways because much of the soil material had come out of the pot and was loose in the box. At least the first inch or so. The plant main stalks were bent to one side so the plant does not stand up straight. Hopefully this will correct itself over time. The palm was beautiful and is acclimating to its new home wonderfully so far.
The care instructions provided were much appreciated. Robert W. My Palm is gorgeous and exceeded all my expectations. The staff at Plantz has been thoughtful throughout the process and very responsive to my questions.
Will definitely be a return customer! Samuel verified owner — April 23, I absolutely adore my beautiful Kentia Palm! It arrived very promptly in great condition. The packaging was excellent, keeping all of the leaves intact. Not only did the plant arrive large, lush, and gorgeous, but it was clearly healthy, as it came with two new fronds opening up.
The adjustment process has been seamless thanks to Sue and all of her detailed instructions. She went above and beyond in helping me find the perfect size palm for my space, as well as making sure it would thrive in my home. She kindly added in the PlantAssure Sub-Irrigation System, which is easy to setup and makes watering much less stressful.
I plan on moving it to a spot with lower light, and Sue helped set me up on a schedule where I can transition it slowly in order to minimize leaf loss. Thank you, Plantz. Paul Jones verified owner — April 18, I bought one in Dallas many years ago for twice this amount. The movers did not move plants when I moved to the East coast. This one is even nicer!

I appreciate how much effort they made to provide support. Charles Mateson verified owner — April 19, My Kentia traveled from Florida to Oregon for 7 days during colder temps this Spring without any problems. They deserve more than a 5 star rating in my book.
I will most certainly order another specialty plant. You must be logged in to post a review. Low Light. Bright Light. Rated 4. Kentia Palm quantity. Over watering can lead to root rot if the soil mix does not drain fast enough. In case of the under watering, Kentia Palm will develop yellow tips that will turn brown.
You will also notice that fronds are not standing upright. Maintenance : Easy. Kentia Palm require minimal pruning just to get rid of dry brown fronds. Over pruning may cause irreversible damage to the trunk.
To prevent nutritional deficiency, apply good quality palm fertilizer that has continuous release formula twice a year during growing season. Insects and Diseases : Plant diseases are very rarely a problem with indoor grown palms.
Under and over watering along with insects and mites are usually the main issues. There are a couple small scale insects that attack your Kentia Palm: mealy bugs and mites. To get rid of mites use a home remedy that worked great for me, of spraying the plant twice a day with a soapy dishwater mixture.
Propagation : Propagated by seeds. Place seeds in the sandy soil during spring or summer. The best temperature for the propagation is 65F to 75F.
It takes a long time for Kentia P. Kentia carries 2 or 3 crops at varies points of maturity. Warm temperature around 80FF 26CC helps to speed up germination process.
