From Ground: Water the velvet Leaf Philodendron to dampen the soil around it. Once it's softened, dig around the plant using the garden trowel, ensuring the plant's root ball is intact. Gently work the trowel underneath the root ball to lift the velvet Leaf Philodendron from its original location.
From Pot: Water the velvet Leaf Philodendron until its roots and soil are moist. Turn the pot sideways, hold the velvet Leaf Philodendron close to its base and gently pull out the plant. Remember, be patient and gentle to avoid damaging the plant's root system.
From Seedling Tray: Water the velvet Leaf Philodendron until the soil is moist. Carefully lift the seedling by its leaves to avoid damaging roots and remove it from the tray. Hold the velvet Leaf Philodendron at its bottom and gently tease out the roots if they are tightly packed.
