I would like to move my Allagoptera arenaria as other plants are encroaching into it, how easy are they to transplant?

I managed to move mine, which was slightly bigger than the one in that picture, without any setback at all... hope it goes well!

I've moved an Allagoptera caudescens successfully. If you have time, you might consider trenching over the next few weeks before the actual move.

Ultra easy. I dug mine with minimal roots and it didnt even loose a leaf.

I dug a massive specimen from Quaman and I gave it a monster root ball and it still set back severely. maybe i got unlucky on this dig? Its growing out of it so I'm not worried. Seems to be a pretty tough palm overall :)

 

Good luck with you dig.

Odd, thats the complete opposite reaction that mine had. The one i dug was pure sugar sand and i then kept it on a drip in a 95g pot.
