From Ground: Begin by watering the japanese azalea plant deeply a day before the transplant to make the soil moist and easier to remove. On the day of transplant, dig around the plant’s base with a garden trowel, keeping a safe distance from the base to avoid damaging the roots. Transfer it along with as much soil as possible onto a plastic sheet.
From Pot: Gently tip the pot sideways, and while supporting the japanese azalea plant with one hand, pat the bottom of the pot with your other hand to ease it out. Ensure not to pull the plant by its stem.
From Seedling Tray: As japanese azalea is quite delicate at the seedling stage, care must be taken. Water the seedlings to loosen the soil. Hold the seedling at the rootball and lift it carefully to avoid damaging the roots or stem.
