I Have 2 Separate Pygmy Palms, But One Of Them Has Another Type Palm Growing In Front With A Fan Type

Question

We have had our Pygmy palms for about 2 years and transplanted them in another area where we had a Bougainvillea plant there for 5-7 years. We dug the Bougainvillea plant out and planted our Pygmy palms. We notice lately a bigger fan type of palm growing in front of it. Is that normal to have another palm attach to our existing palms?

Answer 1

No, there shouldn't be another palm growing there unless it is an offshoot of your own plant, which can be removed. It's possible a different variety grew from a seed.
