From Ground: Water the queen sago thoroughly to dampen the soil, which makes it easier to dig. Dig a wide circumference around the plant to prevent damaging the roots. Gradually deepen and angle the trench toward the root ball and carefully slide the shovel beneath to lift it out.
From Pot: Gently tap the sides of the pot to loosen the soil. Tip the pot sideways and ease the queen sago out while supporting the base of the plant. If the plant is stuck, you may need to cut the pot away.
From Seedling Tray: If starting from a seedling tray, use a small tool or spoon to carefully lift the young queen sago out of the tray, ensuring as much soil as possible remains around the roots to prevent shock.
