From Pot: Water the taiwan incense-cedar adequately before you start. Gently tap the sides of the pot to loosen the soil and encourage the roots to disengage from the pot walls. Carefully invert the pot and support the taiwan incense-cedar as it slides out. Use your hands to gently tease the roots if they are pot-bound.
From Ground: First, water the taiwan incense-cedar plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring you are at a safe distance from the root ball to avoid damage. Pry the soil gently and lift the root ball out with care.
From Seedling Tray: Gently press the soil from beneath the seedling cell to elevate the taiwan incense-cedar. Support the seedling by its leaves rather than the stem, and ease it out of the tray with care to prevent damage to the young roots.
