Moving an Alcantarea odorata ?

[Really full garden]

I want to move a large Alcantarea odorata .Are they as easy as most bromeliads to transplant?

It’s been planted in my garden for 5 or more years and is now getting too little sun. I want to move it to my beach garden.

Zero problems with the move. Piece o' cake.

Thanks, 

I have been moving lots of full sun broms ( Hohenbergia rosea, stellata, super spiney aechemas) with no problems . This area has gotten really shady in recent years and now with our rainy season at full throttle I wanted to avoid rotting , it would be next to impossible for me to replace these plants.

Especially well armed aechmea. After this monster the Alcantarea will be a piece of cake.

What you have (Aechmea distichantha) is what we at work call "The Bromeliad from Hell".

I was lucky to get only one puncture yesterday. Today I have to get it into my car , take it to the beach and plant it . 

The beautiful flower spike makes it all worth it.

I moved an Alcantara odorata into more sun a few weeks ago and it was simple.

No issues.

Go for it.

Such a nice bromeliad.
