I bought this little guy at a store and he has no name. Someone said he was a fern tree? Tried googling that and nothing similar came up. Hope one of you can help me! Thanks in advance!!

You might be thinking tree fern but that is not what it is. It is a palm -- very young -- not a coconut palm but it's too young for me to ID yet. It could be any number of the bunching palms.

I agree, Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) also sometimes called Neanthe Bella Palm http://www.engledow.com/green-...

Whenever you repot, try to separate these individuals a bit. They need more elbow room, but the growers stick a ton of seeds in the middle of the pot, creating a crowd that's too crowded (as they get bigger.)

This pot has 4 trees in it, which is still pretty crowded.

The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.
