From Ground: First, thoroughly water felt fern plant to dampen the soil, this helps to make it easier to work with. Then, gently dig around the plant using a shovel, being careful not to damage the root system. Pull up the plant, ensuring as much of the roots are intact.
From Pot: Start by watering felt fern. Then, gently squeeze or turn the pot to loosen the plant. Hold the base of the plant and lift it out, again, ensure you retain as much root as possible.
From Seedling Tray: Water the felt fern, then gently push the bottom of the tray to help ease the plant out of its compartment. Handle the plant with care to avoid damage to the young plant and its roots.
