Returned to Majesty Palm after a difficult first attempt

My first attempt at Majesty Palm failed — crown damage and death in severe or prolonged frost got hold of it and I didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late. I left it alone for a year before trying again.

The second attempt, with proper attention to planting in free-draining soil to prevent crown rot, has been completely different. It's now thriving in a warm conservatory or bright atrium and association with warmth and holiday destinations worldwide is on full display. new frond production visible in spring and early summer this year was a genuine reward for starting again. If you failed first time, the plant isn't the problem — the conditions probably were.
