From Ground: First, water the kaffir lime plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring the plant's root ball remains intact. Carefully work the spade under the root ball to lift the plant from its original location.
From Pot: Water the kaffir lime plant well, and let it drain for a few minutes. Hold the pot with one hand, and gently tap the pot's sides or press it to help release the plant and root ball. Carefully loosen and remove the plant from its container, ensuring minimal disturbance to the roots.
From Seedling Tray: Water the kaffir lime seedlings to keep the soil moist. Gently push the bottom of the seedling cell to lift the seedling with minimal damage. While holding the seedling by its leaves, use a spoon or dibber to help ease the root ball out of the cell.
