We have very similar conditions to the described above for LHI here in the Azores, so Kentias grow just fine in full sun, as they do under the canopy as well. They also do fine near the beach.

Here in Eastern Algarve, Southern Portugal, Kentias also grow in full sun, or under a canopy, even inland. There some fine ones around here. I am training two, in pots, under different conditions of sun exposure, and very close to the sea, by a salty lagoon, very humid year round. Some leaf burn, but adapting well.

In habitat Howea forsteriana is an emergent species that will grow in full sun especially along forest margins along the beach. The beach areas are lined with them spilling out within a few metres of the high tide mark just like a coconut would. But it never really gets above 28, 29C as a maximum ever. It’s very humid in summer. Night temps can be around 23, 24C in summer. So the humidity wouldn’t be the issue in Florida. Neither would the night temps in summer. Florida winters would be a breeze for them as well, but winter time on LHI would resemble an extremely wet So Cal winter.

Theres a few surprising survivors in FL. theres one at the Edison estate planted in shade, and another on pine island.  all get lots of shade
