From Ground: First, water the seacoast angelica plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide circle around the plant with a shovel or spade, giving a generous berth to the root ball. Use a garden fork to gently lift and loosen the soil around the roots to minimize damage. Carefully slide the spade under the root ball to pry the plant loose, and lift it out of the ground with minimal disturbance to the roots.
From Pot: Water the seacoast angelica thoroughly to make the soil cohesive. Tilt the pot to the side and gently tap or squeeze it to loosen the root ball. Support the plant at its base and slowly remove it from the pot, taking care not to damage the roots.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings well before transplanting. Use a spoon or a special seedling tool to gently lift each seacoast angelica plant out of its individual cell, being careful to support the root ball and avoid damage to the delicate stem and roots.
