Its is summer, in the UK. Ok thank you, i haven't watered it recently, hoe often would you suggest?

You shouldn't water on a set time interval. It's best to check the soil itself to see if water is needed. The surface of the soil will dry faster so check below the surface for moisture. Do you know what happened to it before you got it? What sort of soil is it in and does the pot have adequate drainage?

No idea, my uncle (who's a gardener) bought it online for me. It came from Thailand. That's all I know.

The soil it's in is orchid potting mix and yes there are holes in the bottom of the pot.

Don't know how long these will survive in the mail but that could be part of the problem. Basically, you need to give it time and see what happens. That soil should be good. Provided the drainage holes in the pot are adequate and the pot doesn't sit in any water there shouldn't be any problem there. Keep it warm and out of direct sunlight, but the light should still be bright. The rest is wait and see.

Just happened on this thread. Is your Tacca still alive? It could take months to get new leaves and a couple years to really take off. Be patient. I grow Tacca chantrieri and Tacca integrifolia here inground in Florida. They get quite large, so you’re gonna need a huge pot, but they can be divided. These plants like moist soil. (well-drained) The leaves will literally faint and lie on the ground if the soil dries out. They should still recover if you water them at that point. As tropicals, they love humidity, so I have no clue how well they do indoors with drier air.

Hmmm I don't think it is....the stems are still green but a little shrivelled. How often would you water your plants, or at least my one at the size it is? Right now we are having a heatwave in London so I will live in hope, it's very humid at the moment.

Always better to check the soil and only water if needed. Watering at a regular interval risks over or under watering.
