From Ground: Ensure the italian alder plant is well hydrated by watering it a day before the planned move. This makes the soil easier to work with and reduces transplant shock. After that, use a shovel to dig a wide trench around the plant, ensuring that you don’t hurt the roots the best you can. Work the shovel under the root ball and carefully lift the plant from its original location.
From Pot: Start by watering the italian alder plant well. You'll want the root ball to be moist during the transplant. Turn the pot upside down while securely holding the plant at the base of its stem, so it doesn't fall out suddenly. Gently tap the bottom until the plant and its root ball slide out.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings thoroughly to keep the root ball intact during the transplant. Then, gently push the bottom of the tray until the seedling lifts up, being careful not to damage the delicate roots.
