How many times a year does cyclamen bloom?

Growth habit

First of all, cyclamen likes a warm growing environment and cannot withstand hot climates. Cyclamen grows most robustly in soil containing humus. It has a strong cold resistance and generally grows from autumn to the following spring. Because it can grow slowly in winter, cyclamen will enter a semi-dormant state in summer. At this time, you should pay attention to controlling the temperature. The best temperature for cyclamen growth in winter is around 15 degrees, which can make it bloom quickly.

Cyclamen flowering period

Cyclamen blooms in winter. The fully grown bulbs will bloom in December, and the flowering will be particularly vigorous in February and March of the following year. In order to promote the flowering of cyclamen, you can add appropriate amount of carbon dioxide, which can speed up its flowering. If you want to prolong the flowering time, you can place the cyclamen in a temperature below 5 degrees after it blooms. After that, when the temperature rises, the number of flowers blooming of cyclamen will gradually decrease around May, and occasionally those that grow slowly will delay flowering until June. During the growth period of cyclamen, it is necessary to maintain the humidity of the surrounding air and ensure sufficient light to enable it to grow well. In the north, the temperature is relatively low in some places in the summer. At this time, as long as good ventilation is ensured and strong light exposure is reduced, it is possible to see cyclamen blooming in the summer.

Due to unstable environmental factors, cyclamen can bloom at different times and is often believed to be able to bloom multiple times a year. In fact, the main flowering period of cyclamen is in winter.
