From Ground: Start first by watering the white lotus plant lightly. Carefully dig around the plant with a shovel, being extra careful not to cut into the root system. Once the soil is loose, gently lift the plant from its original spot, making sure the roots remain intact.
From Pot: Ensure you water the plant well before starting this process. Then, gently tilt the pot on its side and hold the plant firmly at the base, slowly pulling it out along with its root ball. If the plant is stubborn, you may need to tap on the sides of the pot to loose it.
From Seedling Tray or Container: Water the white lotus seedlings lightly. Then, using a hand cultivator, slowly loosen the soil around the seedling. Lift carefully – ideally the seedling and its roots would come away with a clump of the compacted soil.
