My A. Odora Variegata had been doing really well, getting bigger with each new leaf and then the leaf size started to decline. I figured it was the cooler weather causing the stunted growth. Now i see that the trunk has two different growth heads developing at the same time. This is not a pup both are coming from the top of the trunk. Is there anything i should do, or will they both develop into full size plants from one trunk . I'm a bit dissapointed as I had been working so hard to get it to develop to a large size, now the leaves on each head are about a third of the single plant size. Can they be separated ?.

The big stems at the top of the picture are last ones that were growing as a single head. The lower smaller ones are the new growth on the two new heads and the lowerst ones are the pup.
