From Ground: First, water the leather-bulb tulip 'Sapporo' 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 leather-bulb tulip 'Sapporo' plant to loosen the soil. Gently tip the pot on its side and tap the bottom to release the plant. Hold the base of the plant and carefully slide it out. If the plant resists, use a garden trowel to gently loosen the edges of the soil within the pot.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedling tray to moisten the soil. Use a garden trowel or your fingers to gently lift each leather-bulb tulip 'Sapporo' seedling from the tray, taking care to keep the root ball intact.
