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.

No worries!

I will only have a 2 week time in March where I can do the work and ensure daily watering because those weeks I won't be traveling, so I'll have to do them all that week.
