Alliums are amazing they suck moisture right from the air, an old stem...bulbs. I would definitely cut the bulbs off and shorten the stem which is enough to feed and water those bulbils for a long long time.
I saved leek seeds last year and it was ridiculous... the scape stems just don't dry out for months. Garlic is the same - crazy water engineered solid scape stems. Dromedaries of the plant world.
We have it wet here of course, and it's all about your climate and relative humidity... Durgan can do things that wouldn't work for me. But your sprouting bulbil says, plenty moist, to me.
