From Ground: Firstly, you will gently water around starfish Cactus to dampen its soil which makes the removal process smoother. Use a shovel or spade to dig a trench around the plant making sure its root ball remains undamaged. Gradually work the spade under the root ball and carefully lift the starfish Cactus out of its current location.
From Pot: Always water the soil in the pot before starting this process. Tilt the pot sideways while supporting the starfish Cactus plant, then gently slide it out. If it resists, tap on the sides or bottom of the pot to loosen soil and roots.
From Seedling Tray: Water the tray first to moisten the soil. Use a dibber or spoon to ease the soil in each module. Then gently lift out each starfish Cactus seedling from its cell, holding it by its leaves or root ball to avoid damaging the stem.
