From Ground: First, water the pink campion plant to dampen the soil. This will make it easier to remove the plant and protect the roots. Using a shovel, dig a wide trench around the plant, keeping a distance of at least 6 inches from the stem to avoid cutting through the roots. Gently work the shovel under the root ball and lift the plant carefully, ensuring the root ball remains intact.
From Pot: Begin by gently tapping the sides of the pot to loosen the soil. Tilt the pot and gently pull the plant out, supporting its base to avoid damaging the roots. If the plant is stubborn, you may need to use a trowel to carefully loosen the roots along the sides of the pot.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedling tray to make the soil damp. Gently use your fingers or a small trowel to lift the seedlings, being very careful not to damage the delicate roots. Support each seedling by holding a leaf (not the stem) while lifting it out.
