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?

I can honestly say I don't know very much about palms. I've met very few plants that you need to really put a lot of care into when transplanting.

If you're very concerned, you could just transplant a couple, then do a couple more in a few weeks.

The palm food probably won't hurt it if you follow the instructions, should encourage some root growth.
