Cyclamen in the rain

However, this flower has a dormant period in summer, especially in the northern region. The temperature is too hot in summer, and the leaves will basically turn yellow and gradually wither, and finally only the bulb may be left.

Therefore, for dormant cyclamen, if you leave it outside in the rain during the rainy season, its roots may not survive. Be sure to drain the water at the bottom after the rain. If the problem is serious, you need to change the pot.
