From Ground: Before starting, ensure to water the pampano plant to dampen the soil. This not only makes digging easier, but also helps to keep the root ball intact. Use a spade to dig a wide trench around the plant, ensuring there is ample space to avoid damaging the root ball. Carefully work the spade under the root ball and slowly lift the plant from its original location. Wrap the root ball in burlap or stretch film to preserve it during transportation.
From Pot: Once again, water the pampano plant and then gently tip the pot on its side, making sure to support the base of the plant. Gradually rotate the pot and pull lightly on the base of the pampano until it comes out. If the plant appears to be stuck, try tapping the sides of the pot to loosen it.
From Seedling Tray: If the pampano is in a seedling tray, water it, and let it absorb for a few mins. Next, push the plant gently up from the bottom, catching it as it pops out of the cell. Be careful to hold it by the leaf, not by the stem or root, to avoid causing damage.
