Does anyone have experience growing these ? I divided them into four seperate pots because they were grown together .

Nope, never grown kentia palms. But I am currently growing date palms. I would imagine that kentia palms might be easier as they are more weather tolerant than date palms. Kentia's also remain pretty compact as I best recall. I tend to keep the soil for my palms fairly loose and I let it dry out a bit between waterings. Palm trees are pretty neat. I'm certainly enjoying growing mine.
