I planted few bulbs in a pot, and it didn't grow for 10 days. I planted it upward. Is that right?

you did it right. But depending what area you live in is going to determine whether or not they will sprout this spring. Spring bulbs need some coldness to trigger them to grow. Now is a good time to plant summer bulbs, and in the fall or mid winter plant spring bulbs. My daffodils have already bloomed, but my hyacinth and tulips are just now sprouting.

pointy side up and doesits thing in its own time Soil temperature and light will be the signals it uses to begin. Some culture tips that might be involved are
The bulbs must be winterized 30 40 degrees for a month or more . the can dry out (if so they will be soft and dry) they can rot ( they will be soft and slimy)

Up is correct. Sometimes it takes a few weeks for bulbs to have the growth pop up! Give it some time.

Up, you did right. General rule is to plant twice as deep as the bulb. Be patient!

Yes, the sprout end goes up. Make sure you didn't plant them too deep. And sometimes you just get bad bulbs.

Yes. The top of the bulb is the point.

The pointy thing is facing up! The round side is where the roots come out of, so yeah, points up!
