Awesome!

Let me know how to transplant some Mexican fan palms properly next March. I have 10 that sprouted last year, and will need moved the 1st two weeks of march. Zone 8b/9a.

Sounds like an awesome day!!

Transplanting is super easy. Just make sure you dig up all the roots, bury at the same level it was at (in the other location), pack some compost in there if soil is lacking, and pack the rest of the soil down so it doesn't wiggle around.

Water well, and you're good.

A guy I was talking to mentioned digging as much soil from where it was and taking with in order to keep it from going into shock, in case the new soil has a different pH.

Any tricks in terms of palms? Does that "palm food" actually do anything? Or is it just a way to trick us amateurs?
