WillC said:Kentias do best in very bright but indirect sunlight. Very close to a north window or a few feet away from an east or west windows would be best. A plant light will not help that much so save your money. Don't move it outside even for a brief time.

The loss of occasional older fronds is normal as healthy new fronds are added. If you have lost several fronds in the last month or so, then it may be a watering problem. It looks like you may have repotted, but the photo of the pot is not clear enough to tell. Repotting can change watering requirements substantially.

Distilled or filtered water is necessary only if your tap water is hard.

Any chance the cats are using it as a potty?


I dont think they are using it to go to the bathroom. I also have not repotted it since I got it. Its in its nursery pot. I suspect it must be a watering problem. But ive been dping my best and dont know what I could change. I sit my water on the counter for an hour before watering. And I water when the first top inch is dry and water through.
