Even though you weren't successful with the first experiment, I still appreciate you telling me your experience. I'll probably just grow it on a cedar branch in the shadiest part of my yard so I can easily water it, whenever I see the fronds shriveling up. I think the cedars get too much light because most face south so there's quite a bit of sun up there, though some of it is dappled. It doesn't help that the bagworms are defoliating all of the lower branches which allows more sunlight in my shade garden. Maybe you'll be much more successful the second time around?
