Cyclone Alfred damaged chamaedorea arenbergiana

[happypalms]

Doing a bit of gardening today and come across a broken chamaedorea from a tree branch. Not to worried about I just dug a hole in a garden bed and heeled it in. Time will tell if it lives, the place where it snapped off was weak point from previous drought damage and was starting to show adventurous roots so there is some hope.
