Cyclamen Care Guide

Cyclamen Is all this snow giving you the winter gardening blues?

Cyclamen plants will warm your home during the cold winter months thanks to vibrant blooms that last a very long time with proper care.

The most important criteria for success in growing Cyclamen are temperature, fresh air and moisture.

We've assembled the following tips to keep your Cyclamen looking their best:

Temperature

Cyclamen will rarely succeed if the temperature goes above sixty-five degrees during the day and fifty degrees at night, making it a great choice for a cool area of your home or office.

Watering

Cyclamen should be checked daily. Allow the soil to dry between watering, but not to the point of wilting, and water from the bottom when necessary. They prefer a humid atmosphere, so misting is also beneficial.

Continued Care

Cyclamen will continue to bloom up until April if they are kept cool and happy. As the flower stalks and leaves die off, they should be removed by giving them a sharp tug. New foliage and flowers will soon replace the old. Potted Cyclamen should also be fed monthly with a diluted half-strength liquid houseplant fertilizer.
