So what is the secret? Have had one myself for a number of years but never looks the best and doesn't really grow...just exists. Wouldn't break my heart if it died as it's planted in a really nice pot that I could be using for more exotic palms I have lol, but now it's the principal of the thing to keep it going.

I have alot of Windows and I think that helps out. I don't receive that much sun during the winter, maybe once a week.
But I know that I wait till the dirt is just slightly dry to the touch. I was giving mine too much water. I fertilize with carls Palm food Skye slow release, and I mist the leaves once a day. And I also have a big ceiling fan that I turn on once a day to circulate air. I had it in a different location where it received after noon sun during spring, summer and fall and it was growing more fronds. I think some sun and heat makes them grow better. When they're inside they don't need all that crazy amount of water that websites say. It caused mine too rot
