From Ground: First, water the hood's sedge plant to dampen the soil making it easier to work with. Then, use your shovel or spade to dig a generous circle around the plant, ensuring you're beyond the spread of the roots. Pry gently under the root ball with the spade and lift the plant with as much of the root ball intact as possible.
From Pot: Water the hood's sedge thoroughly before starting. Turn the pot on its side and gently tap or roll it to loosen the roots from the edges. Carefully slide the plant out, supporting the root ball with your hand.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings to ensure the soil sticks to the roots. Using a tool or your fingers, carefully lift the hood's sedge from the cell, making sure to keep the root ball intact.
