From Ground: Try watering the purple marshlocks plant a day prior to the transplanting to ensure the soil is properly moistener, making the removal easier and less stressful for the plant. Use a spade or shovel, dig a wide circumference around the plant, ensuring not to damage the extensive root system. Carefully slide the spade under the root ball, lifting it gently from the ground, and move it onto the fabric for easier handling and transportation.
From Pot: Start by watering the pot a few hours before the transplanting, this will dampen the soil allowing the plant to be extracted easily. Turn the pot sideways and gently tap it, while supporting the purple marshlocks plant at its base. Carefully pull the plant out without putting too much pressure on the stem. If the plant is reluctant, slide a butter knife or similar tool around the edge to loosen the roots.
From Seedling Tray: Ensure the purple marshlocks plant is not watered just before the removal, as the firm soil will hold the root ball together. Push up from the bottom of each cell to gently dislodge the purple marshlocks plant. Hold it by its leaves, not by the stem or roots.
