From Ground: Start by first watering the base of the ever-flowering gladiolus to soften the soil. Use a garden fork to gently loosen the soil around the plant, then switch to a trowel to carefully dig around the root ball. Aim for at least 6 inches away from the plant stem to avoid damaging roots. Continue to dig until you can lift the ever-flowering gladiolus from the ground with the root ball intact.
From Pot: Water the ever-flowering gladiolus well in the pot. Tip the pot sideways while gently pulling on the base of the plant to slide it out. Try to keep as much soil as possible attached to the root ball during the process.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedling tray to moisten the soil. Carefully hold the ever-flowering gladiolus at the base, use a small trowel or spoon to carefully scoop out the entire plant, making sure not to disturb the root ball. This is especially important as young plants are delicate and their roots can easily be damaged or torn.
