Do I need to water the cyclamen during its dormant period?

Cyclamen dormancy maintenance

When cyclamen is dormant, we generally take two maintenance measures to ensure that it safely passes through the dormant period.

The first method is to take out the bulbs of cyclamen when it is dormant and refrigerate them. After the dormant period is over and the temperature drops, they can be replanted. In fact, this maintenance method does not involve watering issues.

Another method is to grow the cyclamen in the original pot when it is dormant, without pilling it, to allow it to dormant. At this point, everyone will feel confused, should the dormant cyclamen be watered?

Watering during the dormant period of cyclamen

If the cyclamen does not form pills, it is generally best to place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. Basically, it does not need watering. However, if the soil is very dry during this process, we can water it slightly along the edge of the flowerpot to make the soil slightly moist. Don't water it too much. That's all.

This is mainly to keep the soil neither too dry nor too moist, so as to prevent the bulbs from shrinking due to lack of water, or rotting due to too much water.

Please note that no fertilizer should be applied at this time.
