I saw an Archontophoenix but it seems to be... A little unhealthy. It went through a harsh typhoon a few months ago, and it may have affected its status now. 

 

It used to look even worse with more dead fronds, but it seems to have grew some greener fronds now.

Obviously trying to come back after severe trauma. No , not healthy at all. The Alexandrea is known for more upright fronds that have a gentle twist to them . The fronds drop before they droop. It will take a while before it looks healthy again . I’m glad it survived , that one is quite old and I’m sure it will be beautiful when it comes around.

‘This one is about 25 years old from a 10” pot .

Wow! In my city almost all palms are relatively new. Sort of strange to see an Archontophoenix this big
