We are guessing that the bulb is in a vase that has a narrow neck, and the bulb sits in the neck and its roots float in water below it. That’s a lovely display, and yes, these can become top heavy, causing the vase to fall over. It’s normal. Our best advice is to leave it in the vase until it completes its bloom, then cut off the stem a couple of inches from the bulb. Then plant it. You won’t know for a year if it will be a success.
On the longshot chance that the bulb is below the narrow neck of the vase and can not be lifted from it, you probably have to give it up. When the bulb is done, let it dry out and then pick at it with a knife to make it smaller (and yes, in pieces) and clean out the vase so you can use it again. Or, break the vase to get the bulb—but, honestly, you can get more bulbs more easily.
