Cyclamen Care Tips:
– Temperature: Cyclamen prefer cool temperatures. These plants will grow best between 50-60 degrees if possible. Warmer temperatures about 70 degrees cause the plant to go by faster or even encourage dormancy.
-Light: Place your Cyclamen in a bright room away from direct sunlight.
-Water: Keep your Cyclamen’s soil evenly moist. When you water, try to only water the sol, keeping the water away from the leaves and flowers. Excess water on the foliage or the crown of the plant can cause them to rot.
-Care after flowering: Once your Cyclamen is no longer producing new flowers and the foliage begins to turn yellow – reduce watering and stop feeding. Place the pot in a cool, dark location around 50-60 degrees. Keep dry until mid-summer. Then, repot the corm using fresh soil, burying it to about half its depth. Place in a cool, well-lit spot and water as needed. The corm should begin to produce new leaves within a few weeks. Once new growth begins to form, follow Growing Tips and fertilize every other week with an all-purpose plant food of your choice.
