From Ground: First, water the lady's bedstraw plant to dampen the soil. Use a shovel or spade to dig a wide trench around the plant, ensuring you are far enough out not to damage the root ball. Gently work the spade underneath the root ball to free it from the ground.
From Pot: Water the lady's bedstraw thoroughly to make removing it from the pot easier. Tip the pot to the side and gently pull the plant by the base of the stems, not the leaves. If the lady's bedstraw doesn't slide out, tap the pot's edges or lightly squeeze a flexible pot to loosen the soil.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings so the soil is moist. Use a trowel or your fingers to gently lift each seedling by the leaves, not the delicate stem, taking care to preserve the root structure and surrounding soil.
