Why does my geonoma panamensis keep on splitting?

This is the second time this has happened to this Geonoma, once I can understand, perhaps a grower mistake. But twice now so what am I doing wrong. It has recovered both times. But what’s going on?

    Could it be a genetic flaw or something? Do you have others of this species that do not display this malady? Harry

    I have had this happen before on other varieties of palms, but not twice like this one. It just does it out the blue for no apparent reason, growing great then it just flips out, this is the only geonoma that does this in my collection!

    Some plants just have a genetic flaw that makes them not grow normally. It is rare but does happen . Harry

    True, but it could have chosen a nice new red or purple leaf for that flaw. 🤣
