i bought this alexander palm in 1st of november and surprisingly in its small pot for its size it has shoot out a huge new spear in under 2 months while being indoors most of the time and grought out only when temps went above 15 in the sun, So it spent 80% of the time in the position in the photo indoors with a stable temp of 20c and little sunlight and im very surprised to not see any browning on the fronds or any sort of damage since buying it and it having such rapid growth on the spear.Im thinking of repoting when spring comes because right now i dont want to disturb its growth its thriving in these not optimal conditions

    Richard is right . There isn’t a lot of color on this one but very impressive bottle shape with nice stepped rings. A statement for my sunny courtyard. Harry78422092161__FEB1542E-5D70-46E7-9375-013EE716EAB5.thumb.jpeg.c9177dd4323430fb0e9921fdabf9d7a2.jpeg

    They get big! This one is about 25 years in the ground. Early morning shade.
