We are coming into the warmer weather here and I have just had a large branch fall on one of my bangalow palms. It has broken one of the stems.

They take a bit of growing in the colder climate down here, so I want to make sure I don't do anything stupid. What are my options?

Apply a splint?

Cut it and hope the stem re-generates?

If yes, do I cut it with a saw or a smooth knife?

Will the cutting propogate, or do I have an indoor arrangement for a while 'til it dies?

All advice appreciated
