From Ground: Prior to excavation, water the fortnight lily plant to help keep the root ball intact. Use your shovel or spade to dig an ample circle around the plant. Be careful not to damage the plant's roots. Once you've circled the plant, work your spade under the root ball and gently lift the plant from the ground.
From Pot: Thoroughly water the potted fortnight lily to help the plant come out more easily. Turn the pot upside down and gently tap the bottom to encourage the plant to slide out. If the plant is stubborn, try to loosen the soil around the edges of the pot with a butter knife or trowel.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings well. This aids in removing the tiny plants without breaking them. Gently pull the fortnight lily seedlings from their cells, being careful not to damage the roots or stems.
