How to grow cyclamen in winter

How to grow cyclamen in winter

1. Temperature

Winter is its flowering period, especially in December when it will grow buds, so at this time we cannot let it stay in a place with very low temperature. Generally speaking, we have to keep the temperature between fifteen and eighteen. If this requirement cannot be met, it cannot be lower than ten degrees. In addition, we also need to be careful not to place it too high, as this will shorten its flowering time. Finally, we must also be careful not to place it on the radiator in order to keep warm.

2. Fertilization

Because it needs a lot of nutrients when it blooms, which is in winter, we need to give it sufficient fertilizer. Generally speaking, we need to fertilize it once every two weeks or so, including potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus, but more of the latter will be better. The specific amount of fertilizer is about three or four grams for larger plants.

3. Lighting

Because it prefers light, and we also understand that there is less light in winter, so once there is sunlight we have to put it in the sun. In addition, if there is less light for a long time, we can also give it a certain amount of artificial light.

4. Moisture

Water is still essential in winter, because if there is less water it will affect its flowering, and watering should be done in moderation, so one thing we need to pay attention to is to wait until the soil is dry before adding water, and each time you add water, you must wait until the bottom starts to seep water before stopping. It should also be noted that water should not be poured on its stems. In addition, the water quality and temperature also need to be controlled.
