I personally like to move plants before I transplant them. They seem to do better when I take this approach and will be more stable when you transport them. Once you reach your new home transplant the palm as you would normally do - making sure to re-pot it at the same level that it currently resides. One thing I would definitely do is to water it in with Vitamin B1. You can get liquid B1 at a local nursery & garden center. Follow the directions and you will only need to do it once. Vitamin B1 will help the plant as it goes into transplant shock. In fact any time I transplant something I used it. Good luck and keep me posted. Patty,
