I don’t know too much about plants but to me it looks like it could need a little more water. You should try to get a pot that has drainage holes so you can water it a lot and the plants will just take all the water that it needs.

If it doesn’t seem to be spreading, I’d leave it alone. If the area is getting bigger, I’d take the arm off to be safe. Good luck!
