My first attempt at Traveller's Palm failed — failure to flower indoors without sufficient light intensity 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 providing high humidity through pebble trays or regular misting, has been completely different. It's now thriving in a summer patio with shelter from wind and cold nights and fast growth in warm humid conditions is on full display. active growth flush when moved outdoors in 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.
