Alexander Palm Double 25G

Alexander Palm (Double) in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL

Graceful, slim, and perfectly polished—the Alexander Palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae), also known as the King Alexander Palm, is a South Florida favorite for vertical elegance without the bulk. This double planting offers two trunks in one pot, giving you instant tropical fullness and symmetry—ideal for flanking entryways, anchoring poolscapes, or adding lush height in tight spaces. Its smooth, gray trunk, feather-like fronds, and soft tropical movement make it a go-to for designers and homeowners alike.

This 25-gallon double is landscape-ready, offering immediate impact with a refined tropical aesthetic.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to part shade. Can tolerate filtered light but prefers 6+ hours of sun for best vigor.

• Watering: Moderate to high. Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Loves consistent moisture but must have drainage.

• Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Enrich with compost to support lush frond growth. Slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a palm-specific fertilizer 3–4 times per year. Add magnesium and manganese supplements to prevent frond yellowing.

• Growth Habit: Tall, solitary (or paired) palm with a smooth trunk and arching fronds. In a 25-gallon double, height may be 6–8 feet. Mature height in-ground is 25–35 feet.

• Temperature: Best for USDA Zones 10–11. Enjoys humidity and rain but can tolerate short cool snaps once mature.

• Maintenance: Low. Remove old or yellowing fronds as needed. Avoid crown damage—growth emerges from the top.
