Transplanting Gaussia gomez-pompae

Recommended Posts

I have a G. gomez-pompae that is very unhappy in shade. I either transplant it or it will likely croak. I have begun the trenching process and don't plan to make the move for at least a month. How does this species respond to transplantation?

I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade.

I've heard Gaussia don't move too well, but I don't have any personal experience. Are you sure the shade is the issue though? Two of the properties I help maintain have Gaussia gomez-pompae in deep shade that do perfectly fine, and have been there for awhile.

I also have Gaussia gomez - pompae in alot of shade and other than pulling towards the light,it does very well as a palm for the desert.

Does anyone here have major trouble with fungus spots on the leaves of these also???

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Yeah that's definitely a problem for me too, at the last palm beach sale I saw a couple that were having pretty serious issues with spotting as well. So they definitely seem prone to that. Doesn't seem to hurt the palm at least, but aesthetically it's kind of damaging.
