Howea forsteriana is also sometimes called the Sentry Palm or Thatch Palm.

Blozem Hints 🪴
🌿Wave goodbye to the dry! To avoid tips drying out and turning brown, mist regularly or place in a high humid environment away from frequent traffic.
🌿A gentle grooming! Dust (or shower) from time-to-time and remove any dead stems, cutting close to the trunk. Brown tips can be trimmed if desired, but avoid cutting into any green foliage.
🌿Too much sun isn’t fun! If leaves are fading, bleaching or spotting, the palm is receiving too much direct light. Placing in an east or west-facing window will provide it with the right level of light.
