Potted tulip care

Tulip pot

I received the above potted tulip plant 5 days ago and it started wreathing immediately. Does it require a cool temperature? Our place is kept warm, normally close to 75 to 78F or 24 to 28C. This is my first tulip plant and what's the remedy. Thank you. Ivy

Doug says that unfortunately, there is no remedy for this tulip. It's done. Those flowers are finished and the plant will not produce more this year.

Because you're in Florida- you don't have enough winter to keep the bulb cold enough to rebloom. (Unless you want to grow it in your frig for 16 weeks after you've grown it all summer) :-)

So - at this point, this potted tulip is compost.

Sorry.
