My Arenga hookeriana has been moving upwards. It has been growing, but it's also lifting itself out of the ground. Looks as though the roots aren't penetrating the ground. Instead they're pushing the whole plant up. But it's not loose or anything.
The soil's sandy although not course and loose. It's not as though plant roots couldn't penetrate, the other plants aren't doing this.
So, is this normal for this palm, or is it getting ready to pack its bags and leave?
The photo doesn't show it so well but you can see the plant seems to be on a bit of a hump and looks quite healthy.
