Maybe that is why my BF is doing well in the house. I've never had it outdoors! And when I bought it, it was indoors, so that would explain about it not losing fronds, drying up, etc. It has never had any major shocks. I agree--they don't like being moved around. Many plants don't, in my experience. Even to different locations in the house. That might be the only problem, and now it will come back strong for you. Here's to hoping!
