2. Dig the plant in the evening or in early morning so that there is no heat.
3. Water the plant after digging the plant. Soil should be adhere to the roots during or after digging the plant.
4. Remove the plant just prior to planting. The roots of the plant should not be exposed to the sun.
5. After digging the place where to be transplanted, water that place.
