From Ground: First, water the waterlily sugarbush plant to dampen the soil. 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. If needed, use a garden fork to gently loosen the soil around the roots.
From Pot: Water the waterlily sugarbush plant thoroughly to loosen the soil. Gently tip the pot on its side and slide out the plant by tapping the sides and base of the pot. If the roots are tightly bound, use your fingers or a trowel to loosen them slightly.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings to minimize root disturbance. Gently push up from the bottom of the tray using a pencil or similar tool to avoid pulling on the delicate stems. Carefully separate the seedlings, keeping as much soil around the roots as possible.
