Key points for the cultivation of cyclamen

Cyclamen seed treatment

Cyclamen is usually propagated by seed sowing. Shiny brown seeds should be used for sowing. The sowing period is generally in October. Too much sowing will affect the germination of the seeds. Soak them in water for three to four hours before sowing, and then sow them. Soaking in water can make them germinate ten days in advance. Cyclamen seeds are dark seeds, so after sowing, put them in a completely dark state, and do not take them out when they germinate, otherwise it will affect the germination of the seeds.

Cyclamen fertilizer application

Cyclamen can be fertilized with a mixture of decomposed sawdust and peat in a ratio of one to one, and cyclamen can be fertilized with compound fertilizer. Leaf care before flowering is important. Applying too much nitrogen fertilizer in November can cause the cyclamen to grow too tall.

Cyclamen Temperature Conditions

Cyclamen is a bulbous flower that likes a cool, humid and sunny environment. The temperature between fifteen and twenty degrees is suitable for the growth of cyclamen. Cyclamen is not resistant to high temperatures, and too high temperatures will cause cyclamen to dormant.

Cyclamen light conditions

Cyclamen likes sunlight, and frequent exposure to the sun will promote its growth. Insufficient sunlight will affect the flowering time or growth of cyclamen.

Cyclamen Flowering Management

Cyclamen should not be planted too densely when they are in bloom. A certain distance needs to be maintained to prevent the leaves from overlapping and affecting lighting. You should also rotate the flower pot occasionally so that leaves in different directions can receive light evenly and produce more organic matter to provide the nutrients needed for flowering.
