From Ground: Begin by thoroughly watering the big Bluestem plant to moisten the soil around its roots, making it simpler to remove. Using your shovel or garden spade, gently dig a wide circle around the plant, taking care not to damage the root system. Lever the spade underneath the root ball, then raise the big Bluestem plant carefully out of the ground.
From Pot: Water your big Bluestem plant, then turn the pot sideways while holding your hand over the soil surface, your fingers spaced gently around the stem to support it. Gently tug on the stem base until the plant comes loose, keeping the root ball intact.
From Seedling Tray: Moisten the seedlings to ensure the soil sticks together. Gently lift the big Bluestem seedling by the leaves, not the stem, to avoid damaging the plant. Loosen the cell soil edges with a knife if needed and then lift the seedling out, maintaining the root ball's integrity.
