Can a Kentia Palm tolerate this much sunlight?

Question

I'm planning to put it on my appartment balcony which receives a good amount of sunlight, and I've read differing views on the Kentia's ability to handle the sun - I was wondering if this could be a problem in summer? It's not as bad as being directly in the sun but the balcony does get a good deal of light. Thanks.

Answer 1

I asked my  Kentias and they said, "Please, no direct sun and especially no afternoon sun."

No, really, the leaves will sunburn. I don't know where you live, but at my nursery we keep them in a shade house with tree ferns, camellias, and the like. . Kentias don't like to dry out either, and under those conditions it would probably do so.
