From Ground: First, water the musk mallow plant in its original location to dampen the soil, making it easier to remove the plant. Dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring the plant's root ball remains intact. Carefully work the spade under the root ball to lift the plant from its original location.
From Pot: Water the musk mallow plant to dampen the soil. Gently squeeze or tap the sides of the pot to loosen the root ball, holding the plant with one hand and the pot with the other. Invert the pot, while supporting the root ball, and carefully remove the plant.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings in the tray to dampen the soil. Use a hand trowel or a fork to gently lift each musk mallow seedling from the tray, taking care not to damage the roots or stems.
