Moving Dictyosperma album var. aureum - a good idea?

[palmfriend]

Hello there,

hidden among other plans...

...yes, right here...

... I have a nice D. album var. aureum, grown from seed and now three years in the ground - almost completely covered

by other plants.

I would like to move it to a more prominent location but will avoid to loose it - so, my question is:

Should I try it or better leave it where it is? 

Here a final image of the young stem.

Any advice would be very much appreciated -

best regards from Okinawa

Hi there,

since there was no reply - honestly I was afraid of a comment warning me of a possibly extreme root sensitiveness -

I took it as a GO  and went to work last Sunday.

I dug it out very carefully and put it in its new place immediately...

- watered it and made a mark at the newest spear.

Today - four days later - I made a first check...

 

Yep, looks still good...

...and the new spear clearly went on growing! 

I have got another one that grows so well and is already turning into a real beauty - so I thought what a waste

to let this one starve in the cramped spot...

I am very happy that it seems a D. album var. aureum can be moved - at least at a young age -

thank you for you time again!

Best regards from Okinawa -

Lars
