From Ground: Before attempting to remove the creeping lilyturf plant from the ground, ensure that the soil has been watered adequately. Then, using a shovel or spade, dig a trench wide enough around the plant in order to prevent the root ball from breaking apart. Lift the plant gently, keeping as much soil around the roots as possible.
From a Pot: Water the creeping lilyturf plant before beginning the transplanting process. Then, turn the pot upside down while holding your hand over the soil, with the creeping lilyturf stem between your fingers. Tap lightly on the bottom until the plant and root ball slide out. Be careful not to damage the roots during this process.
From a Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings lightly and then use a small tool or your fingers to carefully lift the creeping lilyturf seedling by the leaves and not the stem, making sure to retain as much of the root system as possible.
