"The Kentia is a great plant".... However, I have to disagree with the watering and fertilizing schedule. You wrote... "and with regular watering (about twice a week) and fertilizing it"... That is way too much. Kentia palms are slow growers and the watering time can be extended much more than that. Often the Kentia is grown in a very clay type soil which holds moisture well.
