From Ground: Initially, water the field pussytoes plant adequately, making the soil moist but not overly wet. Carefully dig a wide circle with a diameter at least 12 inches around the plant using a spade, ensuring not to damage the root system. Gradually dig deeper until you can softly lift the plant with its root ball attached.
From Pot: Watering the field pussytoes plant would make extraction easier. Invert the pot and tap the rim on a hard surface-like edge of a table while holding the plant at the base. The plant with the root and soil should slip out. Handle the root ball with care not to damage roots.
From Seedling Tray: Water the tray and gently lean it over, pressing the bottom of each cell while supporting the plant's stem between two fingers. The seedling should slide out with the medium and roots intact.
