Prepare new planting location first ensuring conditions are optimal for the type of bulb.
To transplant in-ground bulbs, dig several inches around bulb area and carefully remove from soil and plants, much like harvesting potatoes.
For potted bulbs, instead of digging, carefully tip everything out, mindful to leave the bulbs and roots as undisturbed as possible.
For indoor growing, use fresh potting mix.
If the bulbs are clumped together, which can mean they are reproducing to create more bulbs, you can either divide them or keep them as they are.
Plant bulbs in new location at recommended depth for that bulb type.
Water immediately.
