From Ground: First, water the spineless yucca plant to dampen the soil. This will make it easier to remove the plant without damaging the roots. Using a tree digging spade, dig around the root ball of the plant, ensuring that the spade goes deep enough to keep the roots intact. Once the plant has loosened, carefully lift it out of the hole, ensuring you do not break the root ball. If the spineless yucca is very large, you may need additional help to lift the plant.
From a Pot: If the plant is in a pot, start by
watering the pot until the soil is moist. Carefully turn the pot sideways, and gently shake the spineless yucca out from the pot. You may need to tap the rim of the pot on a sturdy surface to dislodge the plant. If the plant is stubborn, you could use a knife to cut along the inside edge of the pot. Be very careful not to damage the root ball in the process.
From a Seedling Tray: If you're transplanting spineless yucca from a seedling tray, begin by watering the tray well. This will make the seedlings easier to remove. Gently hold the spineless yucca at the base and lift it from its slot. Be careful not to damage the young, tender roots as you do so.
