Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

The Alexander Palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae) is celebrated for its sleek, upright form, crowned with elegant feathery fronds that sway gracefully in the breeze. As an excellent alternative to the Cocos Palm, this palm lends tropical elegance to gardens and is particularly well-suited for creating a visually appealing screen or focal point. With a slender trunk and lush canopy, it can reach substantial heights, making it an ideal choice for gardeners aiming for vertical interest.

When situating the Alexander Palm in the ground, it favours well-drained soils, and for gardens with sandy compositions, it's advisable to incorporate a good-quality soil conditioner to support its growth. It flourishes best in full sun to partial shade, with regular watering during Bunuru (summer) and a slight reduction during the cooler months of Makuru (winter). To enhance its growth and vitality, apply a palm-specific, slow-release fertiliser during Djilba (early spring). No significant pruning is needed; simply remove old or yellowing fronds as required to maintain its pristine appearance.
