Beginner Gardening: 'Dumb'cane, 1 by QCHammy

This has been the most frustrating plant that I have ever grown. I got one of these from my grandpa's funeral when I lived in North Dakota and it did fine until I moved to Arizona. It started to decline so I repotted it hoping that would help. It just continued to decline until it was nothing but green canes with one or two leaves at the tip. Every time a new leaf came out it would soon die. I finally threw the whole thing in the compost heap. Well, this year we got a gift plant from a visitor and it looked so healthy. Shortly after that, however, it began to decline and now it is looking the same as the last one I had. If anybody has any luck with this plant, particularly in Arizona, I would gladly like some advice on what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions are welcome. I would like to save this gift.
Thanks
