From Ground: Water the flat-leaved alangium plant to dampen the soil. This makes it easier to remove the plant. With your shovel or spade, take care to dig a wide trench around the plant to include the entire root ball. Ensure that you work the spade under the root ball to lift the plant from its current location. If the plant is large, you may need a second person or a plant trolley to help transport it to the new location.
From Pot: Water the flat-leaved alangium and wait for a while to allow the water to soak in. Invert the pot carefully while supporting the plant’s stem and tap the pot’s bottom to remove the plant. Be gentle to avoid damaging the root ball.
From Seedling tray: Use your fingers or a small tool such as a spoon or popsicle stick to gently lift the young flat-leaved alangium plant from its cell, being careful not to damage the roots or stem. You should try to get as many roots as possible, along with the soil around them.
