From Ground: Begin by watering the bearded beggarticks plant well to loosen the soil around the root ball. Using your shovel, start digging a few inches away from the base of the plant, to ensure you don't damage the roots. Work the shovel underneath the root system and then carefully lift the bearded beggarticks plant out of the hole, preserving as much of the root ball as possible.
From Pot: Water the bearded beggarticks plant before removal. Then, tip the pot to the side and gently pull the plant out while preserving the root ball. If the plant is stuck, you may need to gently tap the bottom of the pot.
From Seedling Tray: It's best to water bearded beggarticks seedlings before transplanting. Gently push the seedling upwards from the bottom of the tray or use a dislodging tool to lift it out. Be sure to hold it by the leaves, not the stem or roots.
