To do that, place enough water in a small container to come almost up to the bottom of bulb when the bulb is placed in it. Only the roots will be in the water. Leave in this container for at least overnight, possibly up to 24 hours. The roots will soak in the water and take to their replanting much better. Newly purchased bulbs may not have large roots, but ones you have kept outside over the summer may have huge ones.
