Someone gifted me this parlor Palm has a 1-ft Woody trunk on it already so I think it's it's gold but is this a flower and if so should I snip it off?🤔🌴

ya those are flowers, you should probably snip. the plant already looks a little stressed and flowers are huge energy suckers.

i second this! i would snip and give the plant some time to heal and adjust before putting so much energy into producing flowers

Okay totally ain't going to snip it right now it does seem stressed I did her some fertilizer as far as I can tell this lady didn't even know what fertilizer was the lady that gave me these different plants she looked at me cross-eyed when I asked her when the last time she fertilized was, and they are 100% in this nasty Indiana mud she just shoveled them into the mud from the yard and there's rocks and it's nasty stuff so when I have to transplant these babies it's going to be gnarly I don't know how anything lived in it I mean plants do outside but you know with fertilizer and stuff it's nasty though not looking forward to it LOL

why not snip? it will help the plant be less stressed!
