From Ground: Initially, water the withania heterophylla plant thoroughly a day before you plan to transplant to ease the stress on roots and soften the soil. When removing the withania heterophylla plant from the ground, dig a generous perimeter around the plant with a shovel or spade, going deep enough to include the entire root ball. Carefully lift the plant to minimize root disturbance.
From Pot: Water the withania heterophylla plant well before starting. Turn the pot to its side and gently tap or squeeze it to loosen the root ball. If it's stuck, slide a spade or hand trowel around the inside edge of the pot to help separate the plant from the pot without damaging the roots. Gently guide the plant out of the pot, keeping as much of the soil intact with the roots as possible.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings to make the soil moist and easy to work with. Use a spoon, dibber, or a small tool to gently lift the withania heterophylla seedlings from the tray, making sure to include the root ball in its entirety to avoid damage to the delicate roots.
