From Ground: To remove the optica stone plant from the ground, first, lightly moisten the soil with water. Then, using a trowel, dig a trench all around the plant, ensuring it's wide and deep enough to maintain the root ball's integrity. Gently lift the plant from the ground, preserving the soil around the roots and avoid any unnecessary root disturbance.
From Pot: In case of removing a potted optica stone plant, water the plant well and leave it to drain. Turn the pot sideways, hold the plant gently by its stem, and tap the bottom of its container until the plant slides out. You might need to give the base a hard tap. If the plant is severely root-bound, you might need to break the pot to get the plant out.
From Seedling Tray: If removing optica stone plant from a seedling tray, water the soil first. Gently squeeze the underside of the individual cells and lift the plant out, making sure to hold it by its leaves and not the stem. Make sure to lift the entire root ball out of the cell.
