An elegant, tall-growing palm with graceful fronds and vibrant red fruits
Archontophoenix alexandrae, commonly known as the Alexandra Palm or King Palm, is an elegant, single-trunked palm native to the tropical rainforests of Queensland, Australia. This stately palm features a smooth, light gray to green trunk that can reach heights of 20-30 meters in its natural habitat.
The crown consists of gracefully arching fronds with a distinctive crownshaft that displays an attractive bluish-green color. The palm produces clusters of bright red fruits when mature, creating a striking visual contrast against its lush foliage. Alexandra Palm is highly valued for its ornamental appeal and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical landscapes worldwide.
This species represents an excellent choice for palm enthusiasts and landscapers seeking an impressive, tall-growing specimen with relatively straightforward cultivation requirements. With moderately easy germination and care needs, Alexandra Palm is accessible to both novice and experienced growers who seek a magnificent tropical statement.
Prepare a germination medium consisting of equal parts peat moss and perlite, or use a specialized palm seed starting mix. Light, well-draining composition is essential for successful seed germination and preventing fungal issues.
Plant seeds horizontally at a depth of 1-2 cm (approximately 0.5 inch). Maintain consistent soil temperature between 24-28°C (75-82°F) using bottom heat if possible to enhance germination rates.
Cover the planting container with clear plastic to retain humidity. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not saturated. Place in bright, indirect light until germination occurs, typically within 1-3 months.
Seedlings: Bright indirect light for optimal development. Mature Plants: Gradually increase to filtered sun as plants mature. Provide 6+ hours of indirect sunlight daily for best results.
Regular watering to maintain even moisture is essential. Alexandra Palm is sensitive to drought, particularly during establishment phase. Ensure consistent soil moisture without waterlogging, which can promote root issues.
Benefits from moderate to high humidity, especially during early growth stages. Maintain humidity levels between 60-80% for optimal development. Provide protection from strong winds and environmental stress.
Apply diluted liquid fertilizer monthly after seedlings develop first true leaves. Use a balanced formulation appropriate for palms. Reduce fertilization during dormant periods or cooler months.
Carefully repot when seedlings have 2-3 leaves, minimizing root disturbance. Use quality potting soil with excellent drainage. Time final landscape planting after risk of frost has passed.
Shield young plants from direct sun, strong winds, and temperatures below 10°C (50°F). Provide support and protection during establishment phase. Once mature, Alexandra Palm becomes more resilient.
