From Ground: Begin by watering the soil around the skyblue Aster plant the day before you plan to transplant it. This will make the soil easier to work with and help prevent root damage. Use a shovel or spade to dig a wide perimeter around the skyblue Aster plant, making sure to go deep enough to not damage the roots. Use your hands to gently lift the root ball out of the ground.
From Pot: If the skyblue Aster plant is coming from a pot, start by watering the plant. Then turn the pot on its side and gently tap it to loosen the soil and root ball. Use your hands to carefully remove the plant from the pot, taking care not to damage the root ball.
From Seedling Tray: If transplanting skyblue Aster seedlings, ensure that they have at least two sets of true leaves. Water the seedlings, then use a spoon or small trowel to dig around each seedling. Use your hands to gently lift each seedling by the leaves, never by the stem, to avoid causing damage.
