Let’s go!
Pick the Perfect Spot
Cyclamen love cool, indirect light. Find a spot where they can get plenty of light without being in direct sunlight all day.
A north-facing window is just right. Your cyclamen will appreciate the steady light without getting scorched.
Water Wisely
These plants can be a bit picky about water. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
Water from the bottom if you can. Just place the pot in a shallow dish of water and let it soak up what it needs.
Remember, too much water can lead to rot!
Feed Them Right
During their growing season, usually in the fall and winter, give your cyclamen a little boost with some fertilizer. A balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength, will do the trick.
Feed them every couple of weeks for happy, healthy plants.
Deadhead Regularly
Keep your cyclamen looking neat by removing spent flowers and any yellowing leaves. This isn’t just about looks; it helps prevent disease and keeps the plant focusing its energy on growth, not dead weight.
Don’t Forget Dormancy
After blooming, cyclamen go dormant, usually in the spring or summer. Don’t panic!
Reduce watering, and let the leaves die back. Store the bulb in a cool, dry place until it’s ready to wake up again in a few months.
