From Ground: Start by watering the tree tobacco plant until the soil becomes moist, not soggy. This helps slacken the soil and makes it easier to remove the plant. Use a garden spade to dig a generous trench around the plant, keeping a safe distance from the base to not injure the roots. Once done, carefully work the spade under the root ball and gently lift the plant, shaking gently to remove excess soil.
From Pot: To remove tree tobacco from a pot, first, water the plant. Turn the pot sideways, hold the plant gently by its base, and tap the bottom of the pot to loosen it. You may need to use a little force, but be careful not to damage the plant or its roots.
From Seedling Tray: If you've grown tree tobacco in a seedling tray, ensure the soil is moist before you start. Hold the seedling by its leaves, not by the stem or roots, and gently pull it out. If needed, use a small tool like a spoon or stick to help lift the root ball out.
