Question
I have a palm in my home.  I do not know what kind it is.  It has three stalks - one measures 9 feet, one eight feet and one four feet high.  It is fixing to outgrow the height of my room and I want to do what is best for it.  I assume I can re-pot somehow.  Can I just cut the stalks for new growth or do I need to re-pot the little one and start over.  I have no place to transplant the larger stalks.  It would be so awesome if you are able to advise so that I can save the plant and keep it content.  Thank you, Kenny King  

Answer
Kenny,

If you repot your palm to a larger pot it will grow larger. Palms cannot be divided. Each stalk will not grow a new plant. Is it possible for you to email me a digital picture of your palm so we can determine what kind of palm it is. Then I can give you my best advice. There is a big difference between different types of palms. Please email your picture to [email protected]
Thanks.
