I am about to move from one U.S. state to another with a very large bulb and plant collection.

Hello Fred, try to keep the bulbs cool when storing too....... If you are relocating other garden plants that have any soft new growth, tip pruning will reduce transpiration & I use a great product for stress reduction & growth promotion in seedlings, cuttings & moving plants around which i do all te time & when freighting plants long distances.........
It's called New Farm Growth Formula, it's actually for growth promotion for sugar cane sets, during planting, but it if fabulous with soft wood & hard wood cuttings & bulbs.......I can't remember what's I'n it other than high levels of vitamin B, but it will have Giberelic Acid or something similar I'n it I would think.
