Bought this plant last April at TyTy of all places. Shipped it up and threw it into some organic soil. It rapidly lost a lot of leaves. I think I was drowning it with too much water and not very good draining soil. Repotted it and put it outside in May. Did ok but never seemed to really take off. Took it to my work in November and put it by a south facing window. Started to start pushing lots of new fronds and became dark green. I think I got the watering and fertilizer part down. Here are some pics.

shoot that looks nice. I think I would like to have a T Fortunei that looked that good. Nice job, it apparently likes work.

Odd that it took to your workplace best.
Probably cooler, which Trachies seem to prefer versus hot sun?
Great visual diversion at work.
