Thank you so much for your tutorial.

Do you think I should replace the pot with a bigger one?
Can it grow flower again and again?

These plants tend to look pretty forlorn in larger pots... they
really do fairly well when grown so crowded together. The general
rule I've followed is to allow the bulbs to touch when you pot them
up for forcing, but not cram them into the pot. About 3 good sized
hyacinth bulbs per 6" pot seems about right.

The reasons bulbs force so well indoors in rather poor light and growing
conditions is that the bulbs have this year's flowers all formed inside the
bulb, with sufficient nutrients to make a good show. But because of
the lack of sufficient light and our warmer temperatures than the bulb
would experience outdoors, you're unlikely to be able to get the same bulb
to bloom next year. Most forced bulbs are simply discarded after bloom.

Those of us who feel morally obliged to keep the bulbs after bloom tend
to do best when they're put in a sunny window, fertilized with a balanced
fertilizer, and then heeled in outside when the ground thaws enough.
With luck, you'll get some bloom from them again outdoors in 2-4 years.
It's very rare, except with things like amaryllis, to be able to get
repeat blooms in forced bulbs when the plants are grown solely indoors.
