From Ground: First, water meadow spikemoss thoroughly to dampen the soil and minimize stress to the plant. Use a garden fork to gently loosen the soil around the plant, allowing for a sizeable amount of soil to be taken with the root ball to maintain the integrity of the roots. Employ a trowel or shovel to dig around and under the root ball, then lift meadow spikemoss from its original location with care.
From Pot: Water the meadow spikemoss and let it sit for a few moments to allow the water to soak through. Turn the pot sideways and gently tap the sides and bottom to loosen the soil. Gradually tip the pot, supporting meadow spikemoss with your other hand until it slides out. Be mindful to not pull on the plant to prevent damage.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings to make the soil moist and easier to work with. Use a spoon or a dibber to gently lift each meadow spikemoss out of the cell by pushing up from the bottom, being careful to hold the seedling by its leaves, not the delicate stem.
