    I got a small palm plant at church today and want to look up how to care for it, but can't seem to find anything that leads me to identification.

    It's a group of green trunks that come out of the pot, some split once (not a 50-50 split, more like a main trunk and a leaf that becomes a new stem). The leaves are slightly offset on either side of the trunks, the second starts right where the first ends on the other side and then there is a small (less than 1") gap before leaves 3&4 etc.

    The leaves themselves are long and thin tapering to a point at the end and one vein running down the middle.

    Thanks for any help and if you need more features just ask!

    Sounds like a Yucca to me, not a palm. Any chance of a photo so we can ID it correctly?
