light
Cyclamen prefer bright, indirect light for continuous blooms.
soil
Plant in an all-purpose potting soil.
water
Water thoroughly when top inch of soil is dry, then let drain. Cyclamen are prone to crown rot. Keep water away from the crown.
fertilizer
Fertilize once per month with an all-purpose fertilizer. Do not fertilize during periods of dormancy.
tips and troubleshooting
Cyclamen experience a period of dormancy during the summer. Leaves will yellow and die back as the plant prepares to hibernate. Growth will resume in the fall. Remove faded flowers by pulling the entire peduncle from the crown with a swift, firm tug. This encourages more blooms.
