Why is this happening and what to do now?

1 month old kadali sword sucker is developing another sucker from the same stem. Both look healthy. Is it a disease or twins?

Hi Radhesh Mohandas . Some time malformation in plants will happen and show such type of different things During growth. Any way if they are healthy - it's well and good. Put good soil media along with well decomposed FYM or Vermicompost to cover root zone of both plants. Give Double strength to the plants, because they are in 2 numbers. Thanks for visiting.
