- From Ground: First, water the common lilac plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring the plant's root ball remains intact. Carefully work the spade under the root ball to lift the plant from its original location.
- From Pot: Water the common lilac plant in the pot to dampen the soil. Turn the pot on its side, then gently tap or squeeze the pot to loosen the soil and slide the plant out. Be careful not to damage the root ball or roots during this process.
- From Seedling Tray: Gently water the common lilac seedlings in the tray to dampen the soil. Using a trowel or spoon, carefully dig around each seedling to remove it from the tray. Be gentle with the roots and avoid damaging them during removal.
