Majesty palms are difficult long term- so don't think you are a bad Pirate if they don't do well. They are annuals I bet for over 90% of those who buy them. The Dracaena is your best bet. It should live forever short of never watering it or some equal calamity. The Yucca? Never tried them indoors. I would think they still do better than the palms.

I have a sago and a ponytail that were inside. No damage but they were just vaguely sad looking. I moved them outside and it seemed to shock them a little at first - big change here in incredibly humid/scorching hot coastal Georgia. My sago moved first and got sunburned :( so I learned with penny the ponytail and kept them both in the dappled shade of the yucca tree. They're thriving now. Perhaps bringing her home was a big environmental change that made her freak out and drop leaves? I also find that mine need to dry wayyy out before watering, like halfway down. Your majesty may have needed more heat and humidity?

I just purchased my own majesty palm and posted on how to care for it. I have many books on plants and it says it is a sentry palm or Howea "palm family". grows to 8' bright to medium light. thats all I could muster up. your saying it not a good indoor plant but the one in the book says easy to grow and suitable for indoor and easy to grow. I hope all the knowledgeable people here on this site direct us in the right direction because it's really an awesome looking addition to my home now.

Hey Matt, thanks for replying, My greenhouse would be ONLY able to be heated to about 39F in winter. My local Lowes has them on sale for $10.00 now. The heat will come on at 39F and shut off at 50F. IF they are STILL on sale in about April or March I MAY try one at $10.00 each.
