Default Temporary storage of bluebell roots

Hi

I'm very new to this gardening business, you'd be amazed what I don't
know

snipped
I've spoken to the gardener who put them in and he told me that all I
needed to do is put the bluebell roots back in after I take out the
weeds and they'll be fine.

Bluebells are sort of bulbous corms with a few roots. They should have died
back completely by now (no leaves left showing and probably not too much
root either)

I'd be inclined to put them temporarily into some soil and not in a bucket
of water.
