From Ground: To remove the spanish iris from the ground, water it to moisten the soil for easier extraction. Use a shovel to dig a wide trench around the plant ensuring the root ball remains intact. Finally, carefully work your tool under the root ball and slowly lift the plant to avoid damaging the roots.
From Pot: When removing the spanish iris from pot, begin by watering. Then gently turn the pot sideways and support the plant with your hand, allowing it to slide out. If it doesn't come out easily, tap lightly on the bottom. If pieces of the root system stick out, cut them off with
pruning shears.
From Seedling Tray: Water the tray first. Carefully take out the spanish iris by wedging a trowel or even a spoon. Avoid pulling on the stem to avoid causing stress or damage to the plant.
