Possible to transplant Grewillea Robyn Gordon?

[Tomas]

I planted it in full sun as one of the first plants when I startrd my garden, but now it is in full shade, so the question is, will it survive a transplant?

They really dislike root disturbance, especially the shallow surface roots. Small seedlings might transplant, but your chances on one that size are close to zero.

Ok, you confirm what I suspected, proteaceous plants are not easy. Thank you

I don't know how easy Greviileas are to find in Italy, but there are several hybrids of the same parentage that are also great. If sourcing a replacement is difficult, they can also be propagated from cuttings.

I know someone that transplanted a Grevillea, and it did survive.  However it really took a hit and a couple of years to recover.

Before you risk killing the plant by digging it up try cuttings. Grevillea are mostly propagated by hard wood cuttings. That way you can get yourself a number of replacement plants. If you're not familiar with how to do cuttings just do a search on the internet, there's lots of advice on it.

Progressively it is getting more difficult to find a full sun space in the garden and there are other plants waiting for such spaces, so I will leave it where it is and when I find another plant that will fit there better, I may try to transplant the Grevillea into a pot

Thank you all

I would strongly advise you don’t transplant it take cuttings off the plant as well as a last resort Australian native plants especially grevillia sp don’t like transplanting good luck it’s not worth the risk robin gordon is rare in Australia you will come across them now and again but luck is needed
