Hi George,

The one I have at home has lasted 12 months and is going quite well. Its roots
are deep in water and it doesn't get a lot of light - it certainly doesn't get
any direct sunlight.

I'd really love to get palms for the garden, but see so many doing so badly that
I don't think it's worth the risk.
