Trowel or Spade
To dig out the golden spider-lily plant carefully and safely from its original location.
A new Pot or garden space

Scissors or Pruning Shears

Organic Matter (compost or well-rotted manure)
For enriching the soil in the new location to promote growth of golden spider-lily.

How Do You Remove Golden Spider-lily from the Soil?

From Ground: Start out by watering the soil lightly to make it easier for you to extract golden spider-lily, but avoid making it soggy. Once the soil is damp, use a trowel or spade to dig around the golden spider-lily carefully. Keep digging until you can gently lift the entire root ball of the plant out of the ground.
From a Pot: Begin by watering the golden spider-lily lightly to loosen the soil. Turn the pot sideways and gently pull out the golden spider-lily plant by holding onto its base, not the stem. If it does not budge, lightly tap on the sides of the pot to help free the plant's roots.
From a Seedling Tray: Fill a larger pot with potting soil. Make a hole in the soil big enough for the golden spider-lily seedling's root ball. Gently lift the seedling from the tray by holding onto its leaves, not the stem. Place the seedling in the hole you dug in the soil of the larger pot.

Step-by-Step Guide for Transplanting Golden Spider-lily

Hole Preparation
Dig a hole in the ground or pot that's twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball of golden spider-lily. Add a layer of organic matter at the bottom of the hole.
Inserting the Plant
Place golden spider-lily carefully in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill in around the root ball with soil, firming gently as you go.
Watering
Water the golden spider-lily well using your watering can. The soil should be moist, but not waterlogged, and you should see it settling around the root ball.
Organic Matter
If the soil in the new location isn't rich, it could be beneficial to incorporate more organic matter, like compost or well-rotted manure, into the planting hole or around the base of the plant once planted.

What should be the correct spacing I should maintain while planting golden spider-lily?

What's the recommended sunlight exposure for golden spider-lily after transplant?

Should the golden spider-lily's bulbs be fully covered with soil?
