Moving my Chyrisalidocarpus (Dypsis) lafazamanga

Nice spot for the Joey . That little protection spot will hopefully keep it safe from these winds. You’ve done a good job of sheltering it . Harry

Thanks! It’s on my walking path for now, so it can’t stay there permanently.

Finding a placement that is both "protected" and "featured" has been tricky!

@iDesign Stacey, it looks like your lafazamanga did just fine with the transplant? I'm growing some of these that I may end up selling at some point but am also hoping to keep one for myself. Seems like yours is growing well and hasn't been fussy with seeing a good deal of afternoon sun if I'm not mistaken?

The palm didn’t miss a beat with the move… Seems equally happy in its new location.

Both the old and new locations see a lot of sun (the new location slightly more sun than the old).

I haven’t tried it in either of my two “worst of the worst” spots for sun, but it seems fairly sun tolerant to me (within reason). Likely similar to lutescens in that regard, but more cold tolerant (as in fewer “fried” looking fronds coming out of winter).

Here’s a snap I just took at 9:30am this morning…

Sure looks nice there . I am so glad it handled the move so well. There is something about successful transplants that rewards the gardener. Planting a palm and watching it grow is great , digging one up and transplanting it , then seeing it thrive is awesome! I have been gifted palms from people who no longer wanted them , “ just dig ‘em up and you can have them” , it’s truly gratifying. I have dug up and moved volunteers , same feeling. Harry

Not missing a beat is right! Looks healthy and happy. Tough species, it just wants to GROW.
