Anna I cut the tops off plastic bottles and invert, filling the neck area with perlite. Place the bottle spout on palm and fill neck with perlite, add a little water, let drip out and perlite will swell blocking the neck. Set rootless bulb on top of perlite and finish filling the plastic top use shells, stones, beads to keep the bulb/bulblett in place. Set whole thing in a glass or bottom of bottle or in soil being careful to not imerse in water. Fill bottom cup with water just below where the bulb sets. I will also dig a small hole in soil fill 1/2 with perlite then set the plastic top with bulb in hole. Make sense? The roots seem to just grow knowing there is moisture waiting an inch or so below their basal plate. The plastic and perlite also support the bulb until roots develop.

Oh and I keep in window or sheltered area where rain won't over fill or float them until well rooted.
