Myrna...I tend to agree with Terry. I don't know palms, but that sounds like blossom or "fruit."
If the plant is suffering and you're still nursing it back to health, fruiting could be a sign of stress,and picking it off redirects energy back to the plant.

HI all,
I have Identified a couple of the plants. I went to a greenery and saw the plants that I have here. I a few Dracaena jannet craigs they have lost their bush look and look more like trees with some leaves on the tops. I have been watering them only when they feel dry ( i put my finger in the soil about an inch) most of them have dry brown spots on some of the leaves some at the tips and some times it's in the middle of the leaf. none are near windows ( we do not have much window light available) I also found out that we have the following Corn plants, ficus benjamin, braid Schefflera, peace lilly, golden pothos, ficus Alli, and the parlor palms.The plants have been neglicated up until about 2 months ago when I started trying to take care of them. However I have no idea on how to trim the bigger trees the schefflera is very big and out of control. I can see the ficus benjamin's root above the pot, and it doesn't seem to have very much dirt in there. All the pothos are potbound, ( they were very leggy but I trimmed them all back and now they are starting to look fuller.) The Corn plants are all leaning, the peace lilly only has a couple of leaves on it but I think I am seeing some new growth. so as you can tell our plants need help. They are doing better but I would like for them to do great! any help would be wonderful. I do not know when I can post pictures but I will as soon as I can. thank you
