From Ground: Begin by watering the golden alexanders plant lightly to moisten the soil. This makes it easier to lift the plant's root ball. Use a garden fork to gently prick around the plant's root area to loosen the soil. Now use a shovel or spade to dig a circle around the plant, keeping the plant's root ball intact. Carefully slide the shovel under the root ball and lift the golden alexanders plant from its original place.
From Pots: Start by watering the golden alexanders plant. Turn the pot sideways, hold the plant stem with your hand ensuring you are not pulling the plant. Tap the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen the soil. Gradually, the plant with its root ball will slide out.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings first and let it absorb. Gently hold the golden alexanders seedling by its leaves, never by the stem as it may cause damage. Use a spoon or fork to lift the seedling with its roots. Handle with care and be sure to keep as much soil with the roots as possible.
