We are thrilled to share a glimpse of the atreathtaking energy currently erupting in our collection here in Arbon/Stachen Switzerland. While many palms are still struggling with the winter-error, our other Howea forsteriana (Kentia) has just unleashed a magnificent, deep green vitality spear! 🌿✨

Despite the dry stalks around it, this new growth is a true light-bringer, thriving in the tropical warmth of my 4th-floor balcony sanctuary at 20.6 °C (69 °F) in the shade. It’s a testament to the limitless power of nature when the conditions are just right.

This spear is more than just growth; it’s a symbol of 100% healing and the vibrant synergy of our sanctuary. We couldn't be happier to see this glissful weightlessness manifesting in such a strong, green signal!

Best regards from the sunny shores of Lake Constance,

Tom and Sabine
