Try to group your plants up by similar needs and if you can pot them together or something of the sort it makes it easier than loading a ton of smaller pots up. You can also do what some people do when selling and remove the whole plants from all soil and bag them up to put them all in a lil suitcase or something. I dread the day I have to move 100 hours plants

Thank you so much… I think I’ll try that!

Likely the plants will go through stress and drop some leaves. This is OK and they should get over themselves eventually lol. But it'll mean a heavy pruning once you're moved. So you could prune beforehand to make them a little less bushy and easier to cart around, if that's a concern. Kinda depends on what plants you have.....
