What type of flower is this (pic..)?
It is definitely a Tulip - I would put it in larger pot - that is assuming that it is not sterile and can keep growing - most store bought plants (flowers) are just that - they bloom , the flowers go away and that's the end - But on the off chance that your plant is one tha can re-flower definitely get a larger pot - if you are in an area that stays warm most of the year then make a place outside - if it can be transplanted it should have come with instructions on how to do that.
Reply:Once the flower of the tulip dies, do not cut the stem or leaves. Put them in the sunlight, still planted.



After the leaves brown you will be able to easily pull them off and keep the bulb for another bloom.



You can either plant it in the fall outdoors for a spring bloom, or, if you want it indoor again you can "force" the bulb. See link below.
Reply:That is a tulip! You can force the bulbs and grow them in rocks and water but they really do best if they are in soil - after the blooming is done - let the leaves continue on until they yellow so they continue to provide nutrition to the bulb. Then pull the bulbs out of the ground and put in a brown bag in a dry space.Put the bag of bulbs in the freezer for 3 months and pull out and replant to force the growth if you don't get a freeze in your area.
Reply:it's a 2-color or bicolor tulip. yeah the tulip is a little too big for the pot. i'd transplant it. and it will work in water
Reply:That is a double petal tulip, which some call the rose tulip. It needs to be planted outside in the ground soon or into a 8" pot.
Reply:Tulips in a pot.
Reply:It's a bicolor tulip. And I think it's a little large for its pot. I don't think it will work in just water.
Reply:That is a tulip, bulbs potted up and forced to bloom for spring. The pot size is not important. Let them finish blooming, and then I would take them, pot and all, and stick them in the ground for the leaves to finish growing. Be sure to keep them watered if it doesn't rain. When the leaves are done growing and are turning yellow, you can cut them off and plant the bulbs in the ground, cover them about with soil about 8 ", and they may bloom again next spring for you.
Reply:It is a tulip. And no, it needs dirt and soil and nutrients and it alson needs to go dormant each winter to bloom again in the spring.
