Thanks PaphMadMan.
Something I saw while looking around to learn about this one, lead me to think that it may be a lot like an Equitant type.
I have been told that Equitants don't do very well around here because, while they need frequent watering, their roots do not tolerate being wet all the time. They need to dry out.
Our local climate is supposed to be too wet for them. My experience so far with hybrid Equitants [Toluminias] seems to bear that out. I almost killed my first one by mounting it on a handful of moss. I unmounted it, removed the moss, and then remounted it bare root on an Alexander palm trunk. It seems to be doing much better. It has a couple of new spikes that should flower soon.
I'm thinking that the the NE to East side of a palm trunk might be a good place for this one, give it early morning sun, then shield it from sun during the heat of the day, and give the roots a chance to dry out after the morning dew and rains.
Reading your post kind of crystallized this in my mind.

Edit:
Someone seems to be unloading a bunch of these around here right now. I went to a farmers market today to pick up some fruit and veggies. There were several of these for sale there. They weren't as good as the one I got from H.D. I decided not to get any of them to put with this one when I mount it.
