From Ground: To remove your crimson cattleya from the ground, first ensure that it hasn't been recently watered. Using your shovel or spade, cautiously dig around the plant's root ball, keeping a safe distance to prevent damage to the roots. Next, gently lever the plant out from underneath, supporting as much of the roots and connected soil as possible.
From Pot: If crimson cattleya is currently in a pot, it's a touch simpler. Turn the pot upside down while holding your hand over the top of the soil, with the stem between your fingers. Apply a gentle pull to the pot while squeezing it to loosen. The plant should then slide out, root ball intact.
From Seedling Tray: For removal from a seedling tray, gently squeeze the individual cell to loosen the contents, then carefully lift crimson cattleya by the leaves, trying not to damage the delicate stem or roots.
