I got already blooming daffodils for Valentine's Day that I'd like to repot into a bigger pot. I can't put them in the soil as I'm moving sometime in the next few months and I'd like to take them with me when I move. Should I wait for the daffodils to die down before repotting them? Or should I just not worry about it and leave them in the pot they came in? I've never transplanted bulbs before and I definitely don't want them to die. Thanks in advance!

I vote that they would be fine to repot now. My gardening is limited though.

you can repot them yes. be careful not to disturb the rootball when you remove the pot from the soil.

^yeah i just did some searching on google and it seems that i can repot now but make sure i don't do that...or i can wait until it dies back naturally and replant...but i'd want to wait until the fall whenever its dormant.

wait until they die down, then dig the bulbs out, trim the tops and the roots, dry them thoroughly, and then store them in a paper bag. since they were forced, though, if you can't get them into the ground this season, it is unlikely that they will bloom again next year. may take a couple seasons.
