01-04-2011: Persistence: In 2006 we bought our home and with the home came this palm plant. It was gorgeous! Large green leaves hanging all over the place. The previous owners told me the key to this plant was not to water it! So of course, I watered it and it turned brown and died. The following spring, I finally decided the plant had to go, I was not going to revive it. When I went to dig it out of its container, I noticed a sprout of green next to the dead trunk. That green sprout quickly became another large palm plant. We now have 7 babies from this dead trunk...there is a lot to be said there...
