    With this plant, cutting that clump out is an option. I would recommend trying to use a fungicide first. You can just drench the soil with it and that should clear up the fungus on the soil and plant.

    Too little or too much water can cause browning leaves in potted plants. Too much wind or too much sun are other possibilities, since this plant prefers partial shade and semi-sheltered spots (though it does tolerate full sun, it may not look its best).

    Browning leaves can sometimes be caused by salt in the soil or water supply. The bamboo palm does have moderate salt tolerance, but high salt levels could still make it unhealthy.

    Yes, you can cut the "child" shoots down without damaging the main plant, and if left alone long enough, they could harden into support stakes for the parent plant(s).

    You can use a grow light to help sublimate sunlight.
    You may however do better with a plant that grows well in low light situations.
    These articles will help you.

    Fertilize the bamboo palm using a slow-release or diluted liquid fertilizer, but only during active growth. Only feed monthly or less often if you notice plant damage, such as brown edges and tips. This occurs with excessive use of fertilizer that leads to a buildup of salts in the plant's soil.
