RE: Cyclamen for Indoor Colour

in #cyclamen6 years ago

Cyclamen are perennial plants, and will go dormant in spring. Most people just toss them at that point, but if you're patient, they will come back. After the flowers drop, the leaves will drop, too. At that point, it doesn't much matter where you store it, but cut back watering to almost nothing. You can put it outside over the summer. The plant can't use water while it's dormant, but becoming 100% dry makes the soil harder to work with in the future. If you have it outside, it will naturally respond to the falling temperature in autumn and sprout new growth. That's when you can bring it back inside, give it a thorough soak, and return to normal care.
