How to grow cyclamen

1. Soil

Cyclamen is a bulbous flower that blooms in winter and spring. This flower is native to the Mediterranean coast, so it grows and blooms in winter and spring, and is almost dormant in the hot summer season. The soil required for cultivation must be loose and well-drained. We can mix peat, perlite or river sand in a ratio of 2:1. Traditional flower growers use mushroom fungi or waste materials from mushroom cultivation to mix with fertilizers for cyclamen. No matter which substrate is used, it must be disinfected before cultivation, otherwise it will cause some serious diseases. After planting, the bulbs must be exposed to the soil surface, with at least one-half of the maintenance space.

2. Lighting

Cyclamen likes sunlight, so be careful around May, or even around April in the south, and be sure to reduce direct sunlight and place it in a cool and ventilated place so that it can survive the high temperature season.

3. Temperature

Cyclamen requires a temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius, which is the ideal growth range. It begins to hibernate after exceeding 30 degrees, and is prone to rot at 35 degrees. It is best to maintain the temperature above 10 degrees in winter. Below 5 degrees, it will grow slowly and is prone to frost damage.

4. Watering

When watering, keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. When planting multiple pots of cyclamen, be sure to water each pot individually. Do not water them uniformly, and do not pour water on the leaves.

5. Fertilizer

It has relatively high requirements for fertilizer and needs to be repotted every year. When repotting, use bone meal or compound fertilizer as base fertilizer in the pot. In summer, pay attention to ventilation and avoid rain to survive the high temperature season.
