- From Ground: First, water the common blue violet 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 plant well, then gently loosen the soil around the edges of the pot by tapping or massaging the sides. Hold the base of the common blue violet stem and gently invert the pot to slide the plant and root ball out, preserving as much of the root system as possible.
- From Seedling Tray: Moisten the soil and carefully lift the common blue violet seedling from the tray by grasping the plant's base. Avoid pulling on the stem or leaves, as this can damage the seedling. Gently brush away any excess soil from the root ball.
